Melatonin exists in porcine follicular fluid and improves in vitro maturation and parthenogenetic development of porcine oocytes

In conclusion, exogenous melatonin at the proper concentration may improve the in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes and their parthenogenetic embryonic development. Further research is needed to identify the effect of melatonin on in vitro and in vivo oocyte maturation and embryo development in porcine. (Source: Journal of Pineal Research)
