Popis: Pterostilbene (PTS) mainly enriched in small fruits such as berries and grapes exerts an antioxidant effect. However, the protective effects of PTS against endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) have not yet been elucidated in mouse preimplantation embryo. ERS plays an important role in regulating the pathological and physiological processes, including embryonic development. We explored the protective effect of PTS on the tunicamycin (TM)-induced ERS in mouse preimplantation embryos. In vitro, culture medium was supplemented with different concentrations of TM and PTS. Our result indicated that treatment of zygotes with 0.5 μg/ml TM significantly decreased the development of day 4 blastocysts (P
