Oocyte quality, lipid content, phenotypic predominance, Bos indicus, Bos taurusAbstract
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of phenotypic predominance on lipid content, mitochondrial activity and early developmental competence as indicators of oocyte quality. Cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were recovered through follicular aspiration, and underwent in vitro maturation (IVM), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and in vitro culture (IVC) of presumptive zygotes. Lipid content and mitochondrial activity in immature and IVM oocytes were determined. A maturation rate of 80.6% and 69.3% was found for oocytes predominantly B. indicus and predominantly B. taurus, respectively. Total fertilization rate was 27.6%; 26.1% for predominantly B. indicus oocytes and 29% for predominantly B. taurus oocytes. A total of 55.5% and 57.5% of cleaved embryos after 48 and 72 h post-insemination (hpi) in predominantly B. indicus group were observed, respectively. As for the predominantly B. taurus group, 48.6% and 60.4% of cleaved embryos were found after 48 and 72 hpi, respectively. In both groups, immature oocytes showed a greater amount of small lipidic droplets (p <0.0001); IVM decreased the number of small lipid droplets (p < 0.0001) and increased the number of medium and large lipid droplets (p < 0.0001). Predominantly B. indicus oocytes had a greater number of small and medium-sized lipid droplets, while there were no significant differences in large lipid droplets. IVM oocytes had higher mitochondrial activity than immature oocytes group (p < 0.05) without any effect of phenotypic predominance on this parameter. Assessment of lipid content was not a predictive factor of oocyte quality in crossbred cows.
