Seasonal and hormonal influences regulating oocyte maturation (germinal vesicle breakdown, GVBD) in ovarian follicles of Rana dybowskii were investigated. During the early winter (Dec.-Jan.) GVBD occurred at a low incidence following in vitro culture of intact follicles. Addition of progesterone of
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
