| Abstract | |
In vitro embryo production in Brazil occupies a prominent place among the animal reproduction biotechnology, the current challenge is to make it increasingly accessible so it is essential to approach the results of production and survival of in vitro produced embryos of those developed naturally. Much of this potential change of embryo development is related to the oocyte characteristics. There is the possibility of this ability is related to the lipid profile of follicular fluid and follicle cells , in this sense, this project aimed to evaluate the correlation of the oocytes development potential with the content of the lipid profile in follicular fluid and cells follicular, based on parthenogenetic activation , individual cultivation and retrospective analysis system. There isn\'t, to date, a detailed characterization of the follicular microenvironment, an important component of the follicular fluid and cels are the lipids and recently has been shown that they are involved in various aspects of metabolism in addition also function as signaling molecules or even be capable of inducing changes in chromatin. Derived ions from the study of lipid profile were evaluated compered with oocyte developmental potential. In MALDI dataset observed triacylglycerides higher concentration, mainly containing fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic and stearic acids in follicular fluid and follicle cells from follicular environment of cleaved oocytes. In follicular fluid lipid profile done by LC-MS/MS lipids were identified in diferent classes, with significant participation in positive mode of triacylglycerols, phosphatidylcholines, sphingomyelins, monoacildiacilglicerídeos among others and in negative mode prevailed lipid class was of mitochondrial lipids, the cardiolipin. Cytosolic lipids were also detected as CE and some little follicular fluid as described in the PIP2 and PIP3, and others lipids were characteristic of cleaved and blastocysts groups. The lipid profile of follicular fluid and follicle cells is complex and some of this lipid environment has the potential to be biomarkers of oocyte quality. (AU) | |
