Effect of rh adiponectin on bovine early embryo development in vitro. After 24 h of IVM in TCM 199 serum-free medium or TCM 199 mix with or without rh adiponectin (10 μg/mL), COC were in vitro fertilized in the specific IVF medium for 18 h. The zygotes were completely denuded of cumulus cells and cultured for 8 days in the IVD medium. We measured the cleavage rate (A) and the blastocyst rate (B) 48 h and 8 days after IVF, respectively. The results, expressed as mean ± SE, are representative of four independent experiments. Bars with same superscripts are not significantly different (P ≥ 0.05).
