Effects of TUDCA addition during embryo culture on the quality of porcine blastocysts. (a) Representative fluorescence images of TUNEL staining. Blue: DNA; Red: apoptotic cell; Bar: 30 μm. The indices of apoptosis (b) and fragmentation (c) are expressed as mean ± SD for four times. Different low case letters above columns indicate statistical differences at p < 0.05 by one way ANOVA followed by LSD test. 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.
