The purpose of this study was to investigate the development of bovine nuclear transfer (NT) embryos cultured in serum-free conditions. Bovine NT embryos cultured in various culture conditions were compared blastocyst development, total cell number and apoptosis using TUNEL assay. In experiment 1, blastocyst rates of NT embryos were significantly higher (P<0.01) in FBS (22.0％) and BSA (26.6％) groups than in PVA (6.3％) group. Total cell number was significantly higher in FBS (78.4$\pm$19.4) and BSA (90.9$\pm$29.1) groups than in PVA group (46.0$\pm$0.0). Apoptotic cell number was significantly fewer in FBS (3.1$\pm$1.4) and BSA (1.7$\pm$1.4) groups than in PVA group (7.0$\pm$20.0) However, all of results were not different between the FBS and BSA group. In experiment 2, blastocyst rates of NT embryos were significantly higher (P<0.05) in fatty acid free-BSA (FAF-BSA) group (26.8％) than in fraction V-BSA group (11.2％). Total cell number were somewhat higher in FAF-BSA group (89.8$\pm$30.7) than in fraction V-BSA group (88.1$\pm$19.3). Apoptotic cell number were somewhat fewer in FAF-BSA (1.7$\pm$1.5) group than in fraction V-BSA group (4.2$\pm$2.9). These findings suggest that serum free condition were effective for the in vitro development of bovine NT embryos. Therefore, we concluded that fatty acid free-BSA has beneficial effect in development bovine NT embryos and can be use as a serum substitute.

본 연구에서는 닭 정액의 운동성 분석에 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위하여 희석배율에 따른 생존성을 조사하고, 신선정액의 희석 시에 필요한 조건을 확보하기 위하여 희석제에 단백질원으로서 BSA와 FAF-BSA의 첨가가 닭정자의 생존성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 최종 희석율이 1/4이 되도록 닭 정액을 희석하여 생존성을 조사하면 신선정액에서 희석율이 1/8, 1/16 및 1/32로 낮아질수록 89.9%, 69.9% 및 53.2%로 생존율이 낮아지는 것을 관찰하였으며, 단백질원으로 BSA나 FAF-BSA를 이용하면 생존율을 유의적으로 증진시킬 수 있음을 증명하였다. 또한 이러한 현상은 동결정액의 희석에도 중요한 요인으로 관찰되었는데, FAF-BSA를 이용하여 희석할 때 단백질이 없는 경우보다 양호한 생존율이 나타난다는 것을 관찰하였다(17.6% 대 34.0%). 그러나 단백질원을 활용하더라도 닭정액의 희석율이 낮아질수록 생존율이 저하하는 현상은 지속적으로 나타나고 있으며, 신선정액에 비하여 동결정액은 장수성이 낮은 것으로 추정되었다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 사용된 정자의 분석방법은 닭 정액동결을 실시하여 운동성을 분석할 때 필요한 기본 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 닭 희석배율을 낮추어 동결정액의 효율성을 높이는 연구에 기여할 것으로 추정된다.

사람 간세포 유래의 배양 세포인 HepG2 세포의 지질 합성과 분비에 미치는 linoleic acid(LA, 18 : 2 n-6) 및 우혈청알부민 (bovine serum albumin: BSA) 첨가 농도의 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 간세포는 DMEM배지(기본 배지)에 0.2 mM LA을 첨가한 배지 및 LA와 BSA(0.2-1.0%)를 첨가한 배지(LA+BSA 배지)에서 배양하였다. 각 지질의 동위원소 표적에는 $[^{14}C]acetate$를 이용하여 6시간 배양후의 지질합성과 분비를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 기본 배지중에 LA의 첨가는 콜레스테롤의 $[^{14}C]acetate$ 표적량을 저하 시켰다. 한편, LA배지에 BSA의 첨가에 의해, 총 콜레스테롤의 $[^{14}C]acetate$ 표적량은 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. LA+BSA 배지에서 간세포의 총 콜레스테롤 변동은 유리형 콜레스테롤에의 표적량 증가에 기인하는 것으로 나타났다. LA배지에 BSA를 첨가 하였을때 콜레스테롤 분비가 증가 하였는데, 이는 지질의 분비과정에 BSA가 관여하는 것을 시사하는 것이다. 간세포내 총 지질에의 $[^{14}C]acetate$ 표적량은 각 군간의 유의치는 인정되지 않았다. 그러나, LA 배지에의 BSA 첨가는 $[^{14}C]acetate$표식 지방산의 중성지질 획분에의 표적량은 증가하고, 인지질 획분에 표적량은 감소하여, 양지질의 합성에는 상반되는 결과를 나타내었다. $[^{14}C]acetate$ 표적 중성지질, 인지질 및 유리지방산의 분비는 LA배지에 비교해 LA+BSA 배지에서 현저하게 증가하였다. 이상의 결과에서, 사람 간배양 세포에서 LA와 BSA는 각각 지질대사에 다른 영향을 미치고, BSA 농도는 리포단백질 분비에 영향을 미치는 것으로 시사된다.

Studies were made to evaluate the specific and combined effects of different fatty acids on the in vitro development of 8-cell rat embryo in culture media with and without carbohydrate substrate. Palmitic, oleic, linoleic and arachidonic acids were added singly and in combination to media which contained fatty acid-free BSA. Cell numbers in blastocysts cultured in the media were counted and compared with cell numbers in blastocysts at the corresponding stage collected from the uterus. Oleic, linoleic and arachidonic acids promoted the rat embryo development from 8-cell to the blastocysts. especially in the absence of carbohydrate substrates. Among these three, oleic acid was the most effective but embryo development was not accelerated by the addition of palmitic acid in either the presence or the absence of carbohydrate substrates. Addition of the mixture of four fatty acids was more effective for rat embryo development than single treatment with any of fatty acids tested. Cell numbers per blastocyst in the presence and absence of carbohydrate substrate were similar, and did not differ from those for blastocysts obtained from the uterus.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate some factors in the bovine embryonic development from one-cell to blastocyst using modified synthetic oviduct fluid medium (mSOFM), after maturation and in vitro fertilization of the oocytes. The embryonic development to the blastocyst stage was assessed at 7-10 days after in vitro fertilization, and the total cells in the blastocysts were counted by staining nuclei with fluorochrome. Some commercial calf sera (CS) and a superovulated cow serum had different effects on the embryonic development to the blastocyst stage (8.6-21.4%), dependent upon their product lots, although the development might not be affected at least by serum progesterone levels. ${\beta}$-Mercaptoethanol (${\beta}$-ME) supplemented into mSOFM was effective to the embryonic development (27.8%), as well as the co-culture system with cumulus cells (19.5%). In a serum- and feeder cell-free culture using mSOFM containing several growth factors and ${\beta}$-ME instead of CS plus co-cultured cumulus cells, bovine serum albumin (BSA, fraction V), but not polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), was highly effective in embryonic development to the blastocyst stage, almost comparable to CS in the serum-contained culture (CS, BSA and PVA; 27.8, 19.5 and 5.7%, respectively). However, fatty acid free BSA rather reduced the number of developed blastocysts, compared with fraction V BSA (7.3 vs 29.4%). In the serum- and feeder cell-free culture, supplement of glucose to the medium (final 2.0 mM) stimulated the cell proliferation of developing embryos 120 hr after in vitro fertilization. These results indicated that a serum-free medium supplemented with ${\beta}$-ME could successfully support the development of bovine one-cell embryos to the blastocyst stage. Moreover, supplement of glucose and fatty acids to the medium might support preferably the development and cell proliferation of embryos.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of saturated long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) on cell proliferation and triacylglycerol (TAG) content, as well as mRNA expression of ${\alpha}s1$-casein (CSN1S1) and genes associated with lipid and protein synthesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). Primary cells were isolated from the mammary glands of Holstein dairy cows, and were passaged twice. Then cells were cultured with different levels of palmitate or stearate (0, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 ${\mu}M$) for 48 h and fetal bovine serum in the culture solution was replaced with fatty acid-free BSA (1 g/L). The results showed that cell proliferation tended to be increased quadratically with increasing addition of stearate. Treatments with palmitate or stearate induced an increase in TAG contents at 0 to 600 ${\mu}M$ in a concentration-dependent manner, and the addition of 600 ${\mu}M$ was less effective in improving TAG accumulation. The expression of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase alpha, fatty acid synthase and fatty acid-binding protein 3 was inhibited when palmitate or stearate were added in culture medium, whereas cluster of differentiation 36 and CSN1S1 mRNA abundance was increased in a concentration-dependent manner. The mRNA expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, mammalian target of rapamycin and signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 with palmitate or stearate had no significant differences relative to the control. These results implied that certain concentrations of saturated LCFA could stimulate cell proliferation and the accumulation of TAG, whereas a reduction may occur with the addition of an overdose of saturated LCFA. Saturated LCFA could up-regulate CSN1S1 mRNA abundance, but further studies are necessary to elucidate the mechanism for regulating milk fat and protein synthesis.

This study investigated the lipogenesis capacity of hepatocytes and lipolysis rate of adipocytes of broilers as affected by different fatty acids (trial one) and different linoleic acid (C18:2) levels (trial two). Twenty 6-wk old broilers were used; their hepatocytes and adipocytes were isolated for the in vitro study. In trial one, four treatments were tested. The control group in which no fatty acid was added, and the test groups to which were added $300{\mu}M$ of C16:0, C18:1 and C18:2, respectively. For trial two, different levels (0, $300{\mu}M$ and 1 mM) of C18:2 combined to fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin (BSA) were added to the medium. According to results of trial one, added fatty acids significantly reduced the incorporation by hepatocytes of [U,$^{14}C$]glucose into total lipid (p<0.05); the lipogenesis capacity in C18:2 group was the lowest. Although a similar pattern was found with [l,$^{14}C$]acetate, the groups only slightly differed in terms of lipogenesis capacity (p=0.11). In addition, the C18:2 group had a significantly (p<0.05) greater lipolysis rate than the C16:0 and control groups. Results of trial two indicated that C18:2 significantly (p<0.05) reduced lipogenesis capacity both for [U,$^{14}C$]glucose and [l,$^{14}C$]acetate, and markedly stimulated the lipolysis rate (p<0.05), displaying a dose response. Results presented herein demonstrate that C18:2 can reduce lipogenesis capacity and stimulate the lipolysis rate in broilers.

The purpose of the present study was to produce live offspring from in vitro fertilized goat embryos. Oocytes were collected from abattoir ovaries and kept in oocyte collection medium. Oocytes were washed 4-5 times with maturation medium containing medium-199 with 5 ${\mu}g/ml$ FSH, 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ LH, 1 ${\mu}g/ml$ estradiol-$17{\beta}$ 50 ${\mu}g/ml$ gentamycin, 10% inactivated estrus goat serum, and 3% BSA (fatty acid free). Oocytes were placed in 100 ${\mu}l$ drops of maturation medium containing granulosa cell monolayer and incubated in a 5% $CO_2$ incubator at $38.5^{\circ}C$ for 27 h. For capacitation of spermatozoa fresh semen was processed and mixed in 3 ml fertilization TALP medium containing 50 ${\mu}g/ml$ heparin and kept in the above incubator for 2 h. The capacitated spermatozoa were coincubated with matured oocytes for fertilization. Cleaved embryos were separated and cultured in embryo development medium with oviductal cells and 494 embryos were produced. Recipient goats were synchronized with two injections of 15 mg $PGF_{{2}{\alpha}}$/goat 10 days apart. Eighty early stage embryos were transferred into the uterotubal junction of 14 surrogate mothers using laparoscopy techniques. One recipient delivered twin kids, whereas another two recipients each.delivered a single kid The parentage of these kids was evaluated using highly polymorphic co-dominant microsatellites markers. From the present study, it was concluded that live goat kids can be produced from in vitro matured and fertilized goat embryos, to the best of our knowledge for the first time in India.

본 연구는 1-세포기배의 glucose에 대한 노출이 상실배기 이후의 배발생에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 실시되었다. hCG 주사 후 24~25시간 째에, F1hybrid(C57BL/6, ♀ $\times$CBA/N, ♂) 계통 생쥐를 도살하여 1-세포기배를 회수한 후 0.1% hyaluronidase로 처리하여 난구세포를 제거하였다. 1-세포기배는 hCG 주사 후 72시간째 다양한 농도의 glucose(5.5, 16.5, 27.5 및 38.5mM)에 1분 노출 후 glucose가 첨가되어 있거나 혹은 첨가되지 않은 CR1aa배양액에서 계속 배양함으로써 배발생을 유도하였다. 이 실험의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. M2 배양액에서 회수한 후 3mg/ml의 Fatty-acid free BSA가 첨가된 배양액에서 배양한 경우 27.5%의 확장배반포까지의 배발생율과 16.6%의 탈출 배반포까지의 배발생율을 나타낸 반면, TL HEPES 배양액에서 회수한 경우는 전혀 상실배기 이후의 배발생이 나타나지 않았다. 2. hCG 주사 후 72시간째에 단 1분간의 27.5mM glucose에 대한 노출만으로도 68.8% (CR1aa＋BSA)와 77.1%(CR1aa＋FBS)의 확장배반포까지의 발생을 유도할 수 있었다. 그러나 1분 노출과 이후 계속되는 노출간에는 배발생에 있어서 유의차는 인정되지 않았다. 3. hCG 주사 후 72시간째에 5.5, 16.5, 27.5 및 38.5mM의 glucose 첨가에 따른 확장 배반포까지의 배발생율은 45.7~61.5%로 각 처리군의 유의차는 없었으며, 따라서 고농도의 glucose 첨가에 따른 저해효과는 확인할 수 없었다.
