Pyruvate and glucose uptake by mouse ova and preimplantation embryos

Open access

Abstract

Summary.: A method has been devised to measure the uptake of nutrients by small numbers of mouse ova and preimplantation embryos. The 1–5 embryos were incubated as a group at 37°C in a small volume (at least 20 nl/embryo) of culture medium on siliconized microscope slides under mineral oil. Serial 4 nl samples were taken at 30min intervals for 3 h and assayed for their content of glucose and pyruvate using an ultramicrofluorometric technique. Pyruvate uptake exceeded that of glucose in unfertilized and fertilized ova and in the developmental stages up to the blastocyst, when glucose became the predominant substrate. A component of the uptake of pyruvate by unfertilized ova was probably mediated by a carrier.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
