ICSI-generated mouse zygotes exhibit altered calcium oscillations, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-1 down-regulation, and embryo development
4 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
ICSI bypasses not only fusion of the gametes but also a series of signalling events that occur in the sperm prior to and during interaction with the oocyte's vestments. The effect of this altered encounter of the gametes on the fertilization-associated intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) oscillations has not been thoroughly investigated. Here, ICSI and IVF were performed using gametes from two mouse strains, B6D2F1...
