Poor Embryo Development in Mouse Oocytes Aged In Vitro Is Associated with Impaired Calcium Homeostasis1
27 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
We examined whether impairment of intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis is related to poor embryo development in in vitro-aged oocytes. We found that in vitro aging of mouse oocytes affected the patterns of Ca(2+) oscillations at fertilization: these Ca(2+) oscillations were lower in amplitude and higher in frequency compared with oocytes without in vitro aging. We also observed that the intracellular Ca(2+) store was...
