Glutathione (GSH) concentrations vary with the cell cycle in maturing hamster oocytes, zygotes, and pre‐implantation stage embryos
4 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Glutathione (GSH) is thought to play critical roles in oocyte function including spindle maintenance and provision of reducing power needed to initiate sperm chromatin decondensation. Previous observations that GSH concentrations are higher in mature than immature oocytes and decline after fertilization, suggest that GSH synthesis may be associated with cell cycle events. To explore this possibility, we measured...
