The objective was to evaluate the apoptosis of goat oocytes and embryos through the activity of enzymes of group II caspases and<br />
DNA fragmentation by TUNEL assay, which underwent in vitro maturation (IVM) in medium with or without retinol (TR) and retinoic acid<br />
(RA). Ovaries were obtained from a slaughterhouse and transported to the laboratory in warm saline at 30°C. The oocytes were collected from<br />
follicles measuring 2-6 mm in diameter by aspiration with a syringe needle attached. The oocytes, tested in 10 replicates, were initially washed<br />
five times on medium itself, then screened and distributed in droplets of TCM 199 (Control Group - CG) and this medium supplemented with<br />
retinol (retinol group - GRT) or Retinoic Acid (Group Retinoic Acid - OHR), to finally being incubated at 39°C in a humidified atmosphere<br />
containing 5% CO2 for 24 h. After this period, a proportion of oocytes was processed through mDM and exposed to sperm for 18 h in the same<br />
atmospheric condition. Subsequently, presumptive zygotes were transferred to drops of KSOM medium containing the monolayer of cells in the<br />
oviduct, and finally incubated at 39°C in humid atmosphere with 5% CO2. After 48 h, the structures that were not cleaved and removed 30% of<br />
the medium was partially renovated and remained so for eight days. The other part of the oocytes and blastocysts in each experimental group were<br />
prepared to locate the changes characteristic of apoptosis, using the reagent PhiPhiLux-G1D2 and solutions of 4% paraformaldehyde and<br />
Phosphate-Buffered Saline + 1 mg/mL polyvinylpyrrolidone. For statistical analysis, variance analysis was performed by the method of least<br />
squares. The activity of caspase enzymes did not differ (P > 0.05) between oocytes in the CG (10.32%), GRT (8.08%) and the OHR (8.45%)<br />
and between GRT and the OHR. The oocytes and blastocysts positive for TUNEL assay were higher (P < 0.05), respectively, in the CG<br />
(11.46%, 9.22%) than in GRT (6.86%, 5.45%) and the OHR (7.41%, 6.12%), no difference (P > 0.05) between the GRT and the OHR. Zygotes<br />
GC had lower (P < 0.05) capacity development to the blastocyst stage (5.32 ± 0.81) than those of the GRT (7.94 ± 0.93) and GAR (7.36 ± 1.02),<br />
no difference (P > 0.05) between the GRT and the OHR. This result indicates that the addition of retinoids in the middle of oocyte maturation<br />
reduces cell apoptosis, and increases in vitro production of goat embryos.<br />

The current knowledge in physiology of reproduction and hormone therapies can improve the results of the follicle aspiration<br />
(OPU) and the quality of the oocytes recovered. Including the FSH in protocols available reducing the atresia and the inconsistency of the oocytes<br />
retrieval after OPU, mainly for Taurus breeds. This study was designed to evaluate the inclusion of FSH in protocols for follicle synchronization<br />
and to compare the IVPE results between Taurus (Holstein, Jersey and Angus) and Zebu (Gir, Nelore and Guzerá) breeds. Twenty-one Taurus<br />
and 23 Zebu donators were included for this purpose. All animal were randomized in one of the three treatments: T1) Control - OPU without<br />
follicle synchronization; T2) Day 0 (D0) – implant of progesterone, 2 mg of Estradiol Benzoate (EB) and 0,530 mg of cloprostenol. Five days<br />
later (D5), two injections of FSH - 60UI intramuscularly (IM) during the morning and 40 UI IM 12 h later; T3) D0 - the same for T2, D4<br />
afternoon – two injections of FSH - 25 UI (IM) and 75 UI subcutaneously (SC) - given at the same time. The interval from previous aspiration<br />
was always greater than 30 days and all animals underwent all treatments. The cows were submitted to OPU six days after the beginning of the<br />
treatment. The procedures for IVEP were performed in the same laboratory with X sorted semen. Means among treatments for oocyte recovered<br />
and produced embryos were compared with Tukey test at 5% of probability. Zebu cows provided more oocytes and produced more embryos than<br />
Taurus (P < 0.05) in all treatments. Within subspecies (Zebu and Taurus), there were no statistical differences for oocytes (total and viable)<br />
recovered from different breeds. In Zebu donators, the total oocytes (19,9+8,3, 22,6+9,7 and 21,4+9,8) and those classified as viable (11,3+7,5,<br />
14,1+7,6 and 13,7+8,8) were similar for T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The same was observed in Taurus, 22,8+6,4, 15,6+5,2 and 14,4+6,2<br />
oocytes, and 7,6+6,6, 9,2+7,1 and 8,7+6,8 viable for T1, T2 and T3, respectively. In Zebu, the embryo production by donator was 4,3+2,6b,<br />
6,6+2,7a and 6,6+2,9a, and for Taurus it was 2,5+2,0b, 3,8+1,8a and 3,5+2,2a, respectively, for T1, T2 and T3. The treatments did not change<br />
the number and the quality of the recovered oocytes; however, the embryo production was improved. It seems that the inclusion of the FSH in<br />
protocols for follicle synchronization improved the intrinsic quality of the oocytes. Additionally, treatments 2 and 3 were similar and the injection<br />
of FSH given by SC could shorten the animal manipulation. [Support: FAPEMIG].<br />
