Effect of dibutyryl cAMP on the cAMP content, meiotic progression, and developmental potential of in vitro matured pre‐pubertal and adult pig oocytes
24 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Pre-pubertal pig oocytes display reduced developmental competence compared with adult oocytes following in vitro maturation (IVM). Exposure to dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (dbcAMP) for the first 20 hr IVM improves development of pre-pubertal oocytes, suggesting that their cAMP content may be inadequate. This study examined the effect of 1 mM dbcAMP treatment for the first 22 hr of IVM on the cAMP...
