Abstract
The effects of gonadotropin stimulation on mouse embryo uptake and incorporation of 35S-methionine were studied. We found that the uptake of 35S-methionine was reduced in embryos of stimulated females in both the two-cell and the blastocyst developmental stage. The incorporation of 35S-methionine into protein was not statistically significantly different between the embryos of stimulated and those of unstimulated females. Qualitatively, protein synthesis was equal in both groups as determined with one-dimensional SDS-PAGE. The results are discussed and we conclude that mouse embryo viability in vivo is decreased by ovarian stimulation.Entities:
