## Abstract EGF has been reported to promote oocyte maturation in several species, although the mechanism of action is not yet known. The present study is designed to determine the pathway used by EGF to enhance porcine oocyte maturation. Oocytes were aspirated from 2β5 mm follicles and cultured wi
## Abstract Undefined follicular factors that may influence nuclear maturation and/or cytoplasmic maturation are required during in vitro maturation of pig oocytes. Epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulinβlike growth factorβI (IGFβI), and dialysed porcine follicular fluid (dpFF) were evaluated for t
