Conjugated linoleic acid improves oocyte cryosurvival through modulation of the cryoprotectants influx rate

Table 1 Effect of trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the embryo production rates after vitrification/warming of bovine oocytes

Treatment	Viable oocytes (n)	D7/8 embryo/viable oocytes (%)	D7/8 embryo/cleaved embryos (%)
Control	235	21.2+/−2.0^a	28.1+/−3.5
CLA	256	18.9+/−1.9^a	27.4+/−3.9
Control vitrified	195	1.0+/−1.0^b	14.4+/−15.8
CLA vitrified	207	3.0+/−1.0^b	22.4+/−10.0

Data (mean ± SEM of 5 sessions, experiment 1) within columns with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05)
