Abstract:
In the canine species, the oocyte is ovulated at the immature germinal vesicle (GV) stage and will reach metaphase II stage after 3 to 4 days spent in the oviduct. Fertilization and embryonic development to the blastocyst stage also take place in the oviduct. In a previous study (Tahir et al. 2012 Reprod. Domest. Anim. 47, 487), we reported the expression of oviductin (oviduct-specific glycoprotein) mRNA in the oviduct. The present study aimed to describe the oviductin protein expression (immunolocalization and Western blot quantification) and the effect of the oviducal region and the ovarian

Abstract:
Oviductins are a family of glycoproteins, synthesized and released by oviductal secretory cells, which bind to the zona pellucida of the oocyte after ovulation. Hamster oviductin migrates as diffuse species of 160-350 kDa during SDS/PAGE under reducing as well as non-reducing conditions. In this report, we describe the one-step purification of hamster oviductin using either immuno- or lectin-affinity chromatography. Probing with specific lectins showed that the glycoprotein contains terminal alpha-D-GalNAc, and either terminal alpha-D-NeuAc or non-terminal beta-D-(GlcNAc)2 residues, but fails

Abstract:
SummaryThe glycoprotein envelope surrounding the Bufo arenarum egg exists in different functional forms. Conversion between types involves proteolysis of specific envelope glycoproteins. When the egg is released from the ovary, the envelope cannot be penetrated by sperm. Conversion to a penetrable state occurs during passage through the pars recta portion of the oviduct, where oviductin, a serine protease with trypsin-like substrate specificity, hydrolyzes two kinds of envelope glycoproteins: gp84 and gp55. The nucleotide sequence of a 3203 bp B. arenarum oviductin cDNA was obtained. Deduced a

Abstract:
The oviduct plays important roles in reproductive events: sperm reservoir formation, final gamete maturation, fertilization and early embryo development. It is well known that the oviductal environment affects gametes and embryos and, ultimately, the health of offspring, so that in vivo embryos are better in terms of morphology, cryotolerance, pregnancy rates or epigenetic profile than those obtained in vitro. The deciphering of embryo–maternal interaction in the oviduct may provide a better understanding of the embryo needs during the periconception period to improve reproductive efficiency.

Abstract:
Oviducts play a critical role in gamete and embryo transport, as well as supporting early embryo development. Progesterone receptor (PGR) is a transcription factor highly expressed in oviductal cells, while its activating ligand, progesterone, surges to peak levels as ovulation approaches. Progesterone is known to regulate oviduct cilia beating and muscular contractions in vitro, but how PGR may mediate this in vivo is poorly understood. We used PGR null mice to identify genes potentially regulated by PGR in the oviducts during the periovulatory period. Histologically, oviducts from PGR null m

Abstract:
The oviduct plays a key role in the reproductive process in mammals allowing transport, reservoir, and capacitation of sperm (Hunter RH 2008 Mol. Reprod. Dev. 75, 167-174), fertilization, and early embryo development among other events. The oviductal mucosa is organized in a vast net of folds that projects towards the lumen (Trautman A and Fiebiger J 1952 Comstock. Publ. Assoc., Ithaca, NY, USA). In a preliminary study, the presence of some glandular structures in the oviductal mucosa was noticed. Detailed histological studies have incredibly not been described in the mare.

Abstract:
AbstractThe correct oviductal development and morphogenesis of its epithelium are crucial factors influencing female fertility. Oviduct is involved in maintaining an optimal environment for gametes and preimplantation embryo development; secretory oviductal epithelial cells (OECs) synthesize components of oviductal fluid. Oviductal epithelium also participates in sperm binding and its hyperactivation. For better understanding of the genetic bases that underlay porcine oviductal development, OECs were isolated from porcine oviducts and established long-term primary culture. A microarray approac

The objective of this study was to coculture canine oocytes with oviduct cells or oviduct extracts in modified M199 culture medium to improve the MII rate. The canine oocytes were collected from the local slaughterhouse and were cultured in three culture systems while in the same culture medium. In culture system A, canine oocytes were cocultured with ‘small-round’ oviduct cells and ‘big-round’ oviductal cells which based on cell volume and morphology for 96 h.

Rabbits were killed during the follicular phase and the oviducts were incubated in vitro with leptin, PGF2α, PGE2, NO donor and inhibitors of NOS and cyclo-oxigenase (COX).

ABSTRACT The presence of oxytocin receptors in ovine oviduct has been investigated. High-affinity binding sites for [3H]oxytocin were detected in crude membrane fractions prepared from the oviducts of ewes killed during the oestrous period. The dissociation constant calculated for these sites in competition studies was 1·7 nmol/l. Similar dissociation constants were calculated for [Arg8]-vasopressin and the oxytocin-specific agonists [Gly7]-oxytocin and [Thr4, Gly7]-oxytocin, indicating that these sites represent oxytocin receptors.

Abstract:
Estrogen regulates proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells in the mammalian oviduct, but pathways for cell-specific differentiation are not well understood. In the epithelial cells of the developing rat oviduct, we found estrogen receptor (ER) alpha is expressed at birth and persists in all cells through neonatal day (ND) 7 when ciliated cells appear. To determine a specific function of ER and foxj1, a transcription factor known to have fundamental roles in ciliogenesis in the lung, in differentiation of the ciliated epithelial cells, we treated newborn rats from ND 0 to 5 with e
