Meiosis activating sterols (MAS) and fertility in mammals and man

15 Oct 1999

Abstract excerpt

In mammals two meiosis activating sterols (MAS) have been found to activate meiotic resumption in mouse oocytes, in vitro. FF-MAS (4, 4-dimethyl-5alpha-cholesta-8,14,24-triene-3beta-ol) was extracted from human preovulatory follicular fluid and T-MAS (4, 4-dimethyl-5alpha-cholest-8,24-diene-3beta-ol) from bull testicular tissue. Quite unexpected, these two sterols, which introduce the cholesterol biosynthetic...
