## Abstract The maturational competence of the in vitro grown mouse oocytes of various sizes was examined, and was compared to that of oocytes of equivalent chronological age which grew in vivo. Oocyteβgranulosa cell complexes isolated from 10βdayβold female mice were cultured for 10 days in vitro
## Abstract Lowering the external concentrations of both Mg^+2^ and Ca^+2^ caused failure of meiotic resumption invitroof bovine, oocyteβcumulus complexes. Lowering of external Ca^+2^ levels singly had no effect on either meiotic resumption or completion of the first meiotic division. Lowering of e
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of luteinizing hormone (LH) on the earliest stage of oocyte maturation β the stage of breakdown of the dictyate nucleus. Oocytes were isolated from the preovulatory follicles of adult, cyclic rats. They were incubated in culture medium
## 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
## Abstract Ovulated ova in cumulus masses were obtained from rabbits following isoimmunization with rabbit sperm. They were inseminated in vitro with capacitated sperm, cultured and examined for cleavage and cumulus dispersion. In five experiments only 11 of the 81 (13.6%) ova from the immunized f
