In porcine embryo culture, one of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is harmful factors that are made during in vitro culture. To decrease the detrimental effect of ROS on embryo development, superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase could be used in the embryo culture. Out of these antioxidants, 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) was reported its antioxidant effects to prevent the glutamine-triggered apoptosis. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate the most appropriate concentration of 7,8-DHF in porcine embryonic development. For that, 5 different concentration (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2 uM) of 7,8-DHF was supplemented in the porcine IVM media and then maturation and blastocyst formation rates were compared among 5 groups. In maturation rates of porcine oocytes, significant higher maturation rates was shown in the 1.0 uM group compared with another 4 groups (83.3 ± 2.1 vs. 80.7 ± 1.4, 79.8 ± 1.4, 78.3 ± 1.2, 79.4 ± 1.6), respectively (P<0.05). In the embryo culture, 1.0 uM group also showed the significant higher cleavage rates (76.8 ± 3.1 vs. 62.1 ± 5.0, 65.7 ± 4.0, 68.6 ± 3.7, 64.6 ± 4.0%) and blastocyst formation rates - (39.6 ± 4.0% vs. 28.6 ± 3.3, 31.1 ± 3.9, 29.3 ± 2.5, 39.6 ± 4.0, 26.4 ± 3.2%), respectively (P<0.05). There was no significant difference among 5 groups in the cell number of blastocyst (P<0.05). In conclusion, supplement of 1.0 uM of 7,8-DHF was effective to increase the porcine embryonic development competence as antioxidant to ROS.
