These growth factors and cytokines have autocrine and paracrine cell-cell signaling actions that contribute to yielding healthier embryos. Their actions in the embryo include modulation of cell gene expression and metabolic function that in turn influence cell survival and differentiation, ultimately impacting embryo implantation competence and post-implantation development. The effect of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) in the development of IVM/IVF bovine oocytes /embryos and their gene expression analysis were investigated in this study.enVeterinary ScienceThesis
