## Background The vast majority of oocytes formed in the fetal ovary do not survive beyond birth. Possible reasons for their loss include the elimination of non-viable genetic constitutions arising through meiosis, however, the precise relationship between meiotic stages and prenatal apoptosis of o

In animal oocytes, the centrosome exists as an acentriolar aggregate of centrosomal material that is regulated in a dynamic manner throughout the process of meiotic maturation. Recently, it has been demonstrated that in female meiotic systems spindle assembly is likely regulated by chromosomal and m
## Abstract Mouse oocytes spontaneously undergo meiotic maturation when removed from the ovary and cultured in vitro. This paper describes the changes in cell surface membrane potential from the germinal vesicle (GV) stage (β 46 mV, inside negative), through germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) (β 31
The developmental capacity of oocytes matured in vitro following isolation at the germinal vesicle stage from freshly killed mice (control) was compared with that of oocytes isolated from the carcasses of mice killed 3, 6, 9, and 12 hr earlier. The yield of intact, cumulus cell-enclosed oocytes decr
A high incidence of parthenogenetic activation was observed when postovulatory aged mouse oocytes were exposed briefly to hyaluronidase in culture medium at 18-26 h after the human chorionic gonadotropin injection for inducing superovulation. The majority of the activated oocytes extruded a second p
## Abstract Cell fusions have been used to determine the biological activity of the MPF complex in murine oocytes during their progression through anaphase and telophase to metaphase II. Oocytes (1) at metaphase I, (2) during the anaphaseβtelophase transition, or (3) at metaphase II were fused to g
