Abstract:Flavonoid has anti-oxidant properties and has been shown to protect cells against oxygen radical damage. This study therefore, evaluated the effect of flavonoid on the in vitro development ability of porcine embryos produced by parthenogenesis (PA) or somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Porcine embryos were produced from abattoir-derived prepubertal oocytes either by PA or SCNT of fetal fibroblast into enucleated oocytes essentially as we described earlier (Gupta et al. 2008 Mol. Reprod. Dev. 75, 588–597). O… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
