Effect of C-type natriuretic peptide on maturation and developmental competence of immature mouse oocytes in vitro
20 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes is an important assisted reproductive technology for infertility treatment and livestock breeding programs. Because of asynchronous nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation, the developmental competence of oocytes matured in vitro is compromised. C-Type natriuretic peptide (CNP), which has been proved to be an inhibitor of oocyte maturation, provides a new alternative to optimise...
