From: Development to the blastocyst stage, the oxidative state, and the quality of early developmental stage of porcine embryos cultured in alteration of glucose concentrations in vitro under different oxygen tensions

Figure 4

Intracellular GSH contents of Day 1 (A; five replicate trials were carried out) and Day 2 embryos (B; four replicate trials were carried out) cultured in either IVC medium containing 1.5 to 20 mM glucose or pyruvate-lactate. Within each end point, bars with different letters (a, b) are significantly different for 20% oxygen tension treatment (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in GSH level within each energy substrate supplement group across oxygen tension treatments. The numbers on the bars represent the number of embryos used for the assay.
