Bovine Immature Oocytes Acquire Developmental Competence During Meiotic Arrest In Vitro1
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
To test the hypothesis that oocytes require time to acquire developmental competence during meiotic arrest, we investigated the effects of butyrolactone I (BL I), a potent and specific inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase, on the developmental competence of bovine oocytes after in vitro fertilization (IVF) following release from meiotic arrest. In the present study, 4 culture conditions were used: addition of BSA...
