Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the optimal hormone and glucose levels during the in vitro culture of bovine oocytes matured and fertilized in vitro for blastocyst development. Oocytes matured in TCM 199 + 10% FCS + hormones and glucose were fertilized in vitro in a TALP medium with swim up separated and heparin-treated epididymal cauda spermatozoa. Oocytes were cultured for 2~5 days in synthetic oviduct fluid medium (SOFM) supplemented with 10% FGS and with different hormone and glucose levels, and further cultured 5 days same medium in SOFM. The results are summarized as follows : The in vitro maturation and penetration rates of porcine oocytes cultured in TCM 199 media containing PMSG, hCG, PMSG + hCG, hCG + $\beta$ estradiol, PMSG + $\beta$ estradiol 0 to20 hours after insemination were 88.0% and 81.8%, 82.6% and 68.4%, 80.0% and 75.0%, 80.0% and 65.0%, 77.3% and 64.7%, respectively. The in vitro maturation and penetration rates of porcine oocytes cultured in TCM 199 media containing PMSG, hCG, PMSG + hCG, hCG + $\beta$ estradiol, PMSG + $\beta$ estradiol 20 to 40 hours after insemination were 92.0% and 87.0%, 92.0% and 82.6%, 91.3% and 81.0%, 85.2% and 73.9%, 87.5% and 81.0%, respectively. The cleavage and in vitro developmental rates to blastocyst of porcine oocytes cultured in TCM 199 media containing 0.05 mM, 0.10 mM, 0.30 mM, 0.50 mM, 1.00 mM, and 3.00 mM glucose lelvels 0~3 days after insemination were 31.5~48.1% and 10.0~16.7%, respectively. The cleavage and in vitro developmental rates to blastocyst of porcine oocytes cultured in TCM 199 media containing 0.05 mM, 0.10 mM, 0.30 mM, 0.50 mM, 1.00 mM, and 3.00 mM glucose levels 4~8 days after insemination were 30.0~53.8% and 8.7~19.2%, respectively. The cleavage and in vitro developmental rates to blastocyst were higher in TCM 199 media containing various glucose levels 0~3 days after insemination than 4~8 days.
