Meiotic Arrest In Vitro by Phosphodiesterase 3-Inhibitor Enhances Maturation Capacity of Human Oocytes and Allows Subsequent Embryonic Development1
5 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Controlling nuclear maturation during oocyte culture might improve nuclear-cytoplasmic maturation synchrony. We aimed to evaluate the quality of in vitro-matured, germinal vesicle (GV)-stage human oocytes following a prematuration culture (PMC) with a meiotic arrester, phosphodiesterase 3-inhibitor (PDE3-I). Follicles (diameter, 6-12 mm) were retrieved 34-36 h post-hCG administration from informed, consenting...
