| Resumo: |
To evaluate the effect of follicular fluid on in vitro maturation, pig oocytes were cultured in the presence of hormones where 10% of fetal calf serum (FCS), 10% of follicular fluid from large follicles (l-pFF), 10% of follicular fluid from medium follicles (m-pFF) or no supplement were added. When oocytes where matured in medium containing the hormones the addition of different supplements did not affect (P<0.05) nuclear maturation. However, changing the supplement altered the cytoplasmic maturation, with higher rate (P<0.05) observed in the l-pFF group. To determine the effect of the presence of hormone and/or supplement during maturation, the oocytes were cultured either in presence of TCM-199 alone, with hormones, with 10% l-pFF or with hormones and 10% l-pFF. The highest proportion of oocytes undergoing nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation was obtained when both hormones and follicular fluid were present. Cumulus expansion had a significant (P<0.05) effect on cytoplasmic maturation with the non-expanded groups showing a lower percentage of maturation in all groups. When the adequacy of gonadotropins levels were evaluated by adding higher or lower concentrations into the maturation medium neither beneficial nor detrimental effects were observed in either nuclear or cytoplasmic maturation. These results suggest that changes in the composition of the medium can alter the percentage of oocytes completing maturation. Follicular fluid combined with hormones was found to give better conditions for pig oocyte maturation in vitro.
