Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the expression of BAX, BCL-2, and BAX/BCL-2 ratio in maturation media of cow oocytes which supplemented with Urea in vitro because BAX and BCL-2 are the main regulators of apoptosis. A total of 263 oocytes from follicle aspirations originating from ovaries taken from slaughterhouses and were saturated with 3 addition of urea which was divided into three groups. The control group (P0) was control group without the addition of urea, P1 group was added with urea 20 mg/dL, while P2 group was added with urea 40 mg/dL. The results of in vitro oocyte maturation were continued with identification using immunocytochemical staining with the addition of BAX and BCL-2 antibodies. Positive results showed a brownish color on the oocyte and its cumulus. The results of this study indicated that there were significant differences (P0.05) in BAX and BCL-2 expression, although both curves were equally increase. The increase in BCL-2 was more significant than BAX, while the BAX BCL-2 ratio did not show a significant difference (P0.05) in whichthe curve of BAX/BCL-2 ratio was decreased. It can be concluded that the addition of urea does not affect the level of apoptosis.
