Quercetin protects bovine pre-implantation embryos against oxidative stress via activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway
High atmospheric oxygen level during _in vitro_ embryo culture system is reported to induce oxidative stress, leading to an increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and lower the quality and development of the embryos. The Nrf2 is a redox sensitive transcription factor, which regulates the antioxidant machinery against oxidative stress in bovine pre-implantation embryos (Amin _et al._ 2014 Mol. ... Read more
