Regarding the low number of embryos that reach the blastocyst stage when cultured , this study aimed to evaluate the effects of quercetin on pre-implantation mouse () embryos obtained using fertilization, especially during the passage from morula to blastocyst. Furthermore, we studied whether quercetin also affected the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α). The culture medium for the embryos was supplemented with quercetin, for long or short periods of time, and then the development potential, total cell number, apoptosis rates and expression of HIF-1α were studied to determine the effect of quercetin.
