suggested that oocyte lipid differences occur due to the variance in diapause length in species that exhibit this phenomenon ( Arena et al. 2021 ). For example, the roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ), which exhibits embryonic diapause lasting up to 5 months

Based on the results of experiments 1 and 2, embryonic development began to be negatively affected (reduced trophectoderm cell numbers) when nutrient concentrations were reduced to 25% of our control medium. To further evaluate the viability of embryos
