Oocytes isolated from mature follicles undergo spontaneous maturation when cultured in vitro. Forskolin, an adenylate cyclase stimulator, inhibited resumption of meiosis of cumulus-free mouse oocytes in vitro. Germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) was prevented in more than 85% of the oocytes treated by

## Abstract Follicle cell numbers, steroidogenesis, and culture conditions were manipulated in a series of experiments designed to identify their effect during in vitro maturation of pig oocytes upon meiotic cycle progression, sperm penetration and male pronuclear formation. In Experiment 1 a stati
## Abstract Oocytes were dissected from late, middle, and pre‐antral Graafian follicles from sexually mature mice (6–8 weeks old), cultured in vitro in a chemically defined medium for 18 hours, and scored for meiotic maturation. Between 83–91% of the oocytes removed from antral follicles (300–600 μ
The effects of forskolin (FK) on in vitro oocyte maturation and production of steroids were examined in Oryzias latipes. When oocytes within preovulatory follicles were preincubated in the presence of FK for 2-10 hr, they matured normally after additional incubation for 10-20 hr in plain culture med
## Abstract Canine ovarian oocytes were cultured in a medium consisting of TC medium 199, fetal calf serum and antibiotics. Ninety‐nine percent of the apparently healthy oocytes were in the germinal vesicle (dictyate) stage when recovered from the ovaries; 25% of them reached metaphase I or II by 7
