Porcine Follicular Fluid-Derived Exosome: The Pivotal Material for Porcine Oocyte Maturation in Lipid Antioxidant Activity by Euihyun Kim, Kihae Ra, Myung-Shin Lee, Geon A. Kim

“…When the oocytes were treated with exosomes, the lipid metabolism and cell survival of the oocytes were fully recovered, as well as morphological evaluations compared to the porcine FF-excluded defined medium. Therefore, controlled experiments may produce reliable data if the exosomes are treated with the desired amounts, and we suggest applying FF-derived exosomes to promote experimental data when performing controlled experiments in embryology.…”
