Maternal-Restraint Stress Increases Oocyte Aneuploidy by Impairing Metaphase I Spindle Assembly and Reducing Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Proteins in Mice1
2 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Studies in both humans and animals suggest detrimental effects of psychological stress on reproduction. Although our recent study shows that maternal-restraint stress diminishes oocyte developmental potential, the mechanism behind this effect is unknown. This prompted us to study the potential role of maternal-restraint stress in the genesis of aneuploidy during meiosis I. At 24 h after equine chorionic...
