Component | Species | Reference | Results |
---|---|---|---|
Resveratrol | Porcine | (Kwak et al., 2012) [109] | Higher blastocyst formation rates, higher total cell numbers, decrease in ROS levels. |
Melatonin | Mouse | (Gao et al., 2012) [116] | Suppressed ROS production and promoted embryonic development in vitrified mouse embryos. |
Acetyl-l-carnitine, N-acetyl-l-cysteine, and α-lipoic acid | Mouse | (Truong et al., 2016) [111] | Increased the blastocyst cell number, maintained intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels, and improved fetal development irrespective of incubator oxygen concentration. |
B-mercaptoethanol | Buffalo | (Moussa et al., 2019) [117] | Improved the quality of vitrified blastocyst evidenced by the modulation of the expression of blastocyst important genes, β-catenin, E-cadherin, and Oct-4, and the ability to protect vitrified blastocyst against apoptosis. |
Ascorbic acid | Porcine | (Martín-Romero et al., 2008) [118] | ROS levels and survival rates after vitrification-warming were significantly improved. Addition of AC into vitrification-warming media enhanced embryo survival and embryo quality after warming. |
Ascorbic acid | Porcine | (Nohalez et al., 2018) [119] | Increased the survival of in vitro-produced porcine blastocysts by decreasing ROS production. |
Glutathione Ethyl Ester | Bovine | (García-Martínez et al., 2020) [108] | Before vitrification, supplementation of IVM medium with GSH-OEt preserved mitochondrial distribution patterns and diminished both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial ROS contents. |
Glutathione and cysteine | Porcine | (Li et al., 2014) [120] | GSH or cysteine can improve the developmental competence of porcine ICSI-derived embryos by reducing intracellular ROS levels and the apoptosis index. |
Lycopene | Bovine | (Chowdhury et al., 2018) [121] | There was a significant increase in cleavage and blastocyst development rates and a reduction of intracellular ROS concentrations in oocytes and blastocysts. |
