In this study, we examined the development, freezability and amino acid consumption of in vitro produced bovine embryos cultured in a chemically defined medium (SOF + polyvinyl alcohol), supplemented with 24 amino acids at concentrations measured in bovine oviductal or uterine fluid. Amino acids at concentrations in oviductal fluid tested by Elhanssan (EOAA) significantly improved development to the hatched blastocyst stage, compared to Sigma amino acid solutions BME and MEM (SAA). Amino acids at concentrations in uterine fluid tested by Li (LUAA) were not compared to SAA, and development in LUAA was not significantly different from development in EOAA. Amino acids at concentrations in uterine fluid tested by Elhanssan (EUAA) significantly reduced cleavage rate and blocked further embryo development. When the IVF embryos were cultured in EOAA for 48, 72, 96, or 120 h and then transferred to LUAA, blastocyst and hatched blastocyst rates were not significantly affected. The freezability of blastocysts cultured in EOAA for the first 72 h and then moved to LUAA was improved compared to that in SAA. During the 1–8-cell stages, embryos secreted all 23 amino acids (total, 6368 pmol/embryo). During the 8-cell to morula stages, embryos continued to secrete 21 amino acids (total, 2495 pmol/embryo), meanwhile embryos began to absorb Arg (70 pmol/embryo) and Gln (18 pmol/embryo). After the morula stage, embryos began to absorb 15 amino acids including Glu, Gly, Arg, and Gln (total, 2742 pmol/embryo) and secreted eight amino acids (total, 1616 pmol/embryo). Embryos absorbed only Arg (183 pmol/embryo) and secreted the other 22 amino acids (total, 3697 pmol/embryo) when the culture medium was not changed during the entire culture period (zygote to blastocyst).
