Expression of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes in human and mouse oocytes during the final stages of maturation
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
The mRNA expression of five enzymes: catalase, Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn-SOD), Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (GCS) each involved in protection against free radicals was studied in human and mouse oocytes. In the mouse, oocytes were collected at different stages of maturation in order to determine the storage of these transcripts. For...
