Relative transcript levels of pro-apoptotic gene of Bax and Bak and anti-apoptotic gene of Bcl-XL and Bcl-2 in blastocysts with or without TUDCA treatment. FT: Blastocysts developed from conventional freeze-thaw boar spermatozoa without TUDCA-treatment; ED: Blastocysts developed from evaporatively dried boar spermatozoa without TUDCA-treatment; ED+ TUDCA: Blastocysts developed from evaporatively dried boar spermatozoa with 200 μM TUDCA-treatment. mRNA levels of Bax and Bak in FT and ED+ TUDCA groups were normalized against those in ED group. GAPDH served as a loading control. Each bar represents the mean ± SD. All experiments were repeated for three times. Bars that do not share the same letter are significantly different at p < 0.05.
