Article Synopsis
- Supplementing the culture medium with lactose, specifically at a concentration of 0.025 M, significantly boosts the viability and development of sheep secondary follicles in vitro.
- Oocytes cultured with this optimal lactose concentration showed higher levels of glutathione (GSH), improved mitochondrial activity, and a lower rate of DNA fragmentation compared to control groups.
- The study concluded that 0.025 M lactose enhances the success of oocyte maturation, with a notable increase in normal follicle morphology and meiotic resumption rates.
