A Zinc-Dependent Mechanism Regulates Meiotic Progression in Mammalian Oocytes1

2 Feb 2012

Abstract excerpt

Precise coordination of meiotic progression is a critical determinant of an egg's capacity to be fertilized successfully, and zinc has emerged as a key regulatory element in this process. An early manifestation of a regulatory role for this transition metal is the significant increase in total intracellular zinc. This accumulation is essential for meiotic progression beyond telophase I and the establishment of...
