Cumulus cells of oocyte-cumulus complexes secrete a meiosis-activating substance when stimulated with FSH
1 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
The effect of the different follicular cell types on resumption of meiosis was studied during stimulation with FSH. Cumulus enclosed oocytes (CEO), denuded oocytes (DO), and cumulus and mural granulosa cells were used. The resumption of meiosis and oocyte maturation were assessed by the determination of the germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and polar body formation (PB) at the end of a 24 hr culture period in the...
