Timing of Nuclear Maturation and Postovulatory Aging in Oocytes of In Vitro-Grown Mouse Follicles with or Without Oil Overlay1
10 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Meiotic maturation of the oocyte is a timed sequence of events induced by the ovulatory LH surge. In vitro maturation of oocytes is known to alter the meiotic time course. This study documented the timing of meiosis in oocytes grown in vitro for 12 days, from the preantral follicle stage onward, and the influence of an oil overlay. In the oil-free culture, the stability of the metaphase II spindle was further...
