The objective of the present study was to evaluate efficiency of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Nelore, Brangus, and Girolando oocyte donors. Ovum pickup (OPU) from the donors was conducted every 15 days to assess oocyte recovery, IVF, and post-transfer pregnancy percentage. For Nelore, the mean numbers of total and viable oocytes recovered (23.5 ± 1.1 and 14.0 ± 1.0, respectively) were higher (p < 0.05) than those for Brangus (12.7 ± 1.9 and 6.6 ± 1.0, respectively) and Girolando (12.5 ± 1.4 and 6.8 ± 0.7, respectively); Brangus and Girolando did not differ from each other (p > 0.05). The percentage of blastocyst production differed (p < 0.05) between Nelore (48.4 ± 2.4%), Brangus (40.3 ± 3.6%), and Girolando (38.9 ± 2.6%), but those in Brangus and Girolando did not differ (p > 0.05). The percentage of blastocysts (transferred) that resulted in pregnancy did not differ (p > 0.05) between Nelore (45.5 ± 3.8%), Brangus (41.7 ± 4.1%), and Girolando (40.7 ± 3.7%). Of the breeds studied, Nelore donors are more efficient for IVF, but conditions of this study.

Purpose: Studies have shown mixed findings regarding the impact of stress on the success of fertility treatments. To the best of our knowledge, stress in the context of the workplace has not been investigated to date in relation to the success of fertility treatments. This research investigates the impact of work-related stress and emotional exhaustion experienced by both partners on in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment outcomes.

Objective: Successful embryo implantation is contingent upon the intricate interaction between the endometrium and the blastocyst. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) signifies the clinical challenge of failing pregnancy post-transfer of high-quality embryos, fresh or frozen, in at least three in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, often in women under 40 years. Recent studies identify impaired blastocyst maternal tissue communication among recurrent implantation failure causes.

Purpose: This study identified novel variants of the FSIP2 and SPEF2 genes in multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) patients and to investigate the potential effect of variations on male infertility and assisted reproductive outcomes.

Methods: Whole-exome sequencing was performed in 106 Chinese MMAF patients. The discovered variants were evaluated in silico and confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

A large number of by-products generated in the food industry is discarded as waste, especially the residue left after extracting plant resources, which is typically repurposed as fertilizer. In this study, we extracted and purified a new protein, DOP1, from the residue of Dendrobium officinale Kimura & Migo (D. officinale), and explored the protective effect of DOP1 on alcohol-induced gastric mucosal injury.
