Abstract

IntroductionDry-preservation of gametes offers a promising alternative to cryobanking by potentially storing cells at ambient temperatures; however, successful preservation of whole oocytes remains limited by dehydration-induced cellular damages. This study evaluated whether intracellular delivery of trehalose via a membrane-permeable derivative, trehalose hexaacetate (6-O-Ac-Tre), could enhance dehydration tolerance of domestic cat cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs), a relevant model for mammalian fertility preservation.MethodsCat COCs were incubated with 0, 3, 10, or 30 mM of 6-O-Ac-Tre to asse
