Xanthan gum and Locust bean gum gel supports in vitro development of porcine oocytes derived from early antral follicles

Early antral follicle (EAF)-derived porcine oocytes develop more readily on polyacrylamide-gel (PAG) than on plastic plates. Xanthan gum (XG) and locust bean gum (LBG) are edible polysaccharides. We investigated XG-LBG gel supports in the development of EAF-derived porcine oocytes. XG and LBG were m...
