Improvement in blastocyst quality by neurotensin signaling via its receptors in bovine spermatozoa during in vitro fertilization
Previously, we reported that neurotensin (NT), which is expressed in the uterus and oviduct, enhanced bovine sperm capacitation and acrosome reactions. As NT mRNA expression in bovine oviducts increases dramatically in the follicular phase, we hypothesized that NT modulates fertilization and subsequ...
