Expression of genes involved in prostaglandin E2 and progesterone production in bovine cumulus–oocyte complexes during <i>in vitro</i> maturation and fertilization
14 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and progesterone appear to be critical mediators of cumulus expansion and the resumption of oocyte meiosis. The aim of this study was to identify the types of prostaglandin E synthase (PTGES) expressed in the bovine cumulus-oocyte complex (COC), to characterize their temporal expression during the periconceptional interval using an in vitro model of maturation (IVM) and fertilization...
