Meiotic inhibition with different cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors in bovine oocytes and its effects on maturation and embryo development
1 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) such as butyrolactone I (BL-I) and roscovitine (ROS) maintain bovine oocytes blocked at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage. Bohemine (BOH), another CDKI, has been used for oocyte activation. The objective of this study was to determine whether BOH blocks meiosis and to compare its efficiency with other CDKIs (ROS and BL-I). Oocytes were cultured for 24 h in 0, 50, 100 and...
