## Abstract The role of estrogen in the process of hormoneβinduced meiotic maturation was investigated using in vitro culture of __Rana pipiens__ ovarian follicles and isolated oocytes. Estrogen alone was ineffective in triggering maturation and did not act synergistically when combined with proges
## Abstract Cyanoketone (CK) was used to investigate the involvement of steroidogenesis on gonadotropic hormoneβinduced oocyte germinal vesicle breakdown and ovulation in frog ovarian follicles in vitro. Cyanoketone inhibited pituitary hormoneβinduced oocyte meiotic maturation and ovulation but had
Induction of meiosis in Rana pipiens oocytes in vitro was studied using intracellular electrophysiological recordings and a morphological count of nuclear dissolution. In type III (i.e., defolliculated theca-free, with follicle cells) and type IV (i.e., denuded lacking follicle cells) Rana oocytes (
