The effects of decreased glucose concentrations on the in vitro development of the post-blastocyst mouse embryo in a fetal calf serum-or bovine serum albumin-supplemented medium

Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Decreasing the glucose concentration from 1.0 mg/ml to 0.25 mg/ml has no detrimental effects on postblastocyst embryo development when either dialyzed fetal calf serum (20%) or bovine serum albumin (4.0 mg/ml) is used to supplement Eagle's Basal Medium (BME). Development is reduced in both serum-and BSA-supplemented BME devoid of glucose in comparison to glucose controls. Serum-supplemented media support better overall development than BSA-supplemented media.
