## Abstract Breakdown of the germinal vesicle (GV) was studied in bovine follicular oocytes cultivated in vitro. The intact GV of control oocytes did not correspond to the findings in porcine oocytes (GV I). Instead it was characterized by a nuclear membrane and a few chromocenters in finely granul
## Abstract The breakdown of the pig germinal vesicle (GV) was studied in follicular oocytes matured in vivo and in vitro. For better characterization, the whole process was divided into four wellโdefined stages, based on the chromatin changes, and on nucleolus and nuclear membrane disappearance. I
Roscovitine, a potent inhibitor of M-phase Promoting Factor (MPF) kinase activity, was used to maintain cattle oocytes at the germinal vesicle stage for a 24-hr culture period. A concentration of 25 M of roscovitine was sufficient to reach the maximum level of meiotic resumption inhibition with 83 ฯฎ
