Экзогенные антиоксиданты, к которым относится унитиол, обеспечивают снижение продукции активных форм кислорода в клетках. В настоящем исследовании ооцит-кумулюсные комплексы (ОКК) свиней культивировали в течение 44ч без и с унитиолом в концентрациях 0,42 мг/мл и 0,84 мг/мл. Через 22 ч обнаружен рост (на 21%, p&lt;0,01) доли ОКК, реинициировавших мейоз, в группах ооцитов, прокультивированных с 0,42 или 0,84 мг/мл унитиолом, в сравнении с контролем. Спустя 44ч все гаметы экспериментальных групп реинициировали мейоз (85, 83 и 90%). Спустя 44 ч, в группе ооцитов культивировавшихся с 0,42 мг/мл унитиола выявили снижение доли (на 28%) созревших клеток (р˂0,001), а внесение 0,84 мг/мл унитиола в среду обеспечило снижение уровня клеток, завершивших мейоз, на 31% (р˂0,001) в сравнении с контролем. Через 22 ч культивирования доля&gt; &lt; 0,01) доли ОКК, реинициировавших мейоз, в группах ооцитов, прокультивированных с 0,42 или 0,84 мг/мл унитиолом, в сравнении с контролем. Спустя 44ч все гаметы экспериментальных групп реинициировали мейоз (85, 83 и 90%). Спустя 44 ч, в группе ооцитов культивировавшихся с 0,42 мг/мл унитиола выявили снижение доли (на 28%) созревших клеток (p &lt; 0,001), а внесение 0,84 мг/мл унитиола в среду обеспечило снижение уровня клеток, завершивших мейоз, на 31% (р &lt; 0,001) в сравнении с контролем. Через 22 ч культивирования доля дегенерированных клеток в группе, прокультивированной с 0,42 мг/мл унитиола была выше контроля на 14% (р &lt; 0,05), а с концентрацией 0,84 мг/мл - на 34% (р &lt; 0,001). Спустя 44 ч культивирования унитиол в концентрациях 0,42 и 0,84 мг/мл, по-прежнему, инициировал дегенеративные изменения в ооцитах. Доля клеток с признаками дегенерации была на 25 и 32% выше в сравнении с контролем, р &lt; 0,01). Таким образом, введение в состав культуральных сред унитиола в концентрациях 0,84 и 0,42 мг/мл вызывало снижение доли созревших ооцитов и рост уровня женских гамет с дегенерированным хроматином. Выявленные особенности воздействия унитиола в исследованных дозировках на мейотическое созревание донорских ооцитов свиней in vitro не позволяют рекомендовать его в качестве экзогенного антиоксиданта для снижения оксидативного стресса в ооцитах свиней при культивировании in vitro.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Oxidative stress during in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes is one of the factors that reduce viability and exit of competent to insemination female gametes. Exogenous antioxidants, which includes unithiol, reduce production of active oxygen forms in cells. In the present study, pig’s cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC) were cultivated for 44h with and without single-agent at concentrations of 0,42 mg/ml and 0,84 mg/ml. After 22 h was found an increasing (by 21%, p&lt;0,01) of the proportion of COC reinitiated meiosis in oocyte groups cultivated with 0,42 or 0,84 mg/ml of unithiol in comparison with control. After 44h all gametes in experimental groups reinitiated meiosis (85, 83 and 90%).

After 22 h of cultivation, proportion of degenerated cells in a group cultivated with 0,42 mg/ml of unithiol was above control by 14% (p&gt;&lt;0,05), and with a concentration of 0,84 mg/ml - by 34% (p&gt;&lt;0,001). After 44 h of cultivation, unithiol in concentrations of 0,42 and 0,84 mg/ml continued to initiate degenerative changes in oocytes. Proportion of cells with degeneration was 25 and 32% higher compared to control, p&gt;&lt;0,01). Introduction of unithiol in concentrations of 0,84 and 0,42 mg/ml into cultural media caused a decreasing percentage of mature oocytes and increasing level of female gametes with degenerated chromatin.
