Albendazole Sulphoxide Administered Prior to Mating andits Relation with Fertilization and Mouse Embryo Development

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of albendazole sulphoxide (ABZSO) administered to Balb C mice prior to mating on fertilization rate and preimplantational embryo development. Twenty four female mice 5-8 weeks of age were superovulated by intraperitoneal injection of 7.5 UI of equine c...

Twenty four female mice 5-8 weeks of age were superovulated by intraperitoneal injection of 7.5 UI of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG, Novormon®, Laboratorios Syntex S.A., Argentina); 48 h later they received 10 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG, Profasi®, Laboratorios Serono, Méjico) and were paired with males of proven fertility.

The possible effects of ABZSO were evaluated considering the fertilization rate, the total number of collected embryos per female; the percentage of embryos morphologically normal; the differentiation rate (determined by the relation between the number of blastocyst and the total of morphologically normal embryos) and the cleavage rate determined by counting the nuclei.
