embryos of mouse.<br />

Methods The mice were ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed accord<strong>in</strong>g to gui<strong>de</strong>l<strong>in</strong>es of the<br />

committee at laboratory animals of Razi Institute. Oocytes were<br />

produced by the superovulat<strong>in</strong>g 150, six week old NMRI female mice.<br />

Sperm was obta<strong>in</strong>ed from the cauda epididims of 4, four month old<br />

NMRI male mice. In first experiment, collected mouse oocytes were<br />

fertilized <strong>in</strong> concentration 0 (control), 1, 5 and 10 micromole of<br />

ret<strong>in</strong>ol <strong>in</strong> HTF medium and were transferred to CZB culture medium.<br />

In second experiment, fertilized mouse embryos were cultured <strong>in</strong><br />

concentration 0 (control), 1, 5 and 10 micromole of all-trans ret<strong>in</strong>ol <strong>in</strong><br />

CZB medium. Embryos were evaluated to blastocyst stage every day.<br />

The data analysis was carried out by us<strong>in</strong>g proc MIXED of SAS and<br />

the Duncan’s multiple-range test was used to <strong>de</strong>term<strong>in</strong>e differences<br />
