Assessment of oocytes retrieved from stimulated and unstimulated ovaries of pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) as a model to enhance the genetic diversity of captive lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus)

Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430080506.abs Steroid hormone levels were measured during unstimulated menstrual cycles of pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) and lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus). The values were similar, suggesting that the pig-tailed macaque may be an appropriate model for in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in the lion-tailed macaque. Two follicular stimulation protocols were compared to evaluate the […]
