Table 2.

Effect of adiponectin treatment during in vitro culture (IVC) on embryonic development and total blastocyst cell number derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos.

Adiponectin (μg/mL) Number of Embryos Cultured No. of Embryos Developed (Mean ± SD, %) Total Blastocyst Cell Number (Mean ± SEM)
≥2 Cells Blastocyst
0 132 117 (88.6 ± 0.89) a 34 (25.6 ± 3.1) a 55.96 ± 5.5 a
15 130 120 (92.3 ± 0.55) b 53 (39.8 ± 3.1) b 72.44 ± 7.0 b

Note: Replication number = 5. Abbreviation: SD: standard deviation. a,b Values within a column with different superscripts differ significantly at p < 0.05.
