Effect of chilling bovine oocytes on their developmental competence
1 Dec 1996
Abstract excerpt
Bovine oocytes are damaged when chilled to temperatures near 0 degree C. We have determined the temperatures at which this injury occurs, as well as its kinetics and the functional consequences for oocytes both at the germinal vesicle-stage (GV) and after in vitro maturation (IVM). Cooling GV oocytes had no effect on their nuclear maturation or fertilization. Compared to control oocytes held at 30 degrees C, the...
