## Abstract The effects of dibutyryl cyclic AMP on the maturation of the mouse oocyte in vitro were studied. It was found that concentrations of 100 ΞΌg/ml or greater prevented germinal vesicle breakdown in more than 95% of the treated oocytes. The inhibition of maturation was found to be a reversib

In this study we have tested the hypothesis that precursors of the purine base backbone--glutamine, glycine, aspartic acid, and formate--promote meiotic arrest when included in medium containing established meiotic inhibitors and that this occurs in glucose-dependent fashion. An initial experiment e
Forskolin, a reversible stimulator of the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase, has been used to determine: 1) whether an increase in hamster cumulus cell cyclic adenosine monophosphate (CAMP) results in an elevation of intraoocyte cAMP and an accompanying increase in the maintenance of meiotic ar
## 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
