Groups | No. of blastocyst | Expanded blastocyst (%, mean ± SD) | Hatched blastocyst (%, mean ± SD) |
---|---|---|---|
FT | 50 | 65.9 ± 2.9a | 25.9 ± 2.9a |
ED | 48 | 60.3 ± 3.1b | 21.1 ± 2.6b |
ED+ TUDCA | 50 | 74.1 ± 4.6c | 35.9 ± 4.3c |
Note: Different letters within the same column indicate statistical differences at p < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA followed by the LSD multiple comparison test (N = 5). FT: blastocysts developed from conventional freeze-thaw boar spermatozoa without TUDCA-treatment; ED and ED+ TUDCA: blastocysts developed from evaporatively dried boar spermatozoa with 0 and 200 μM TUDCA-treatment, respectively.
