Effects of cryopreservation on the developmental competence, ultrastructure and cytoskeletal structure of porcine oocytes
7 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to determine ultrastructural and cytoskeletal changes that result from vitrification of porcine germinal vesicle- (GV-) and meiosis II- (MII-) stage oocytes. To investigate the effects of vitrification on developmental competence, oocytes were divided into three groups: fresh GV-oocytes (control), vitrified GV-oocytes, and vitrified MII-oocytes. In both GV- and MII-oocytes,...
