Obesity is associated with female reproductive abnormalities. Hyperlipidaemia might alter the embryonic micro-environment and potentially result in reduced fertility. We aimed to induce hyperlipidaemia nutritionally and investigate the consequences of hyperlipidaemic culture conditions on bovine in vitro embryo development, embryo quality and gene expression patterns.
