Human Oocytes Reversibly Arrested in Prophase I by Phosphodiesterase Type 3 Inhibitor In Vitro1
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
This study addresses the role of cAMP hydrolytic isoenzyme phosphodiesterase type 3 (PDE 3) modulation on human oocyte maturation in vitro. Presence of phosphodiesterase type 3 A (PDE 3A) mRNA was confirmed in human germinal vesicle-stage (GV) oocytes. Making use of a selective PDE 3 inhibitor, Org 9935 (10 microM), oocytes retrieved from immature follicles were arrested in prophase I with a high efficiency for...
