Testosterone, progesterone, and estradiol-17P each inhibit CAMP phosphodiesterase activity of mouse oocyte extracts in a concentrationdependent manner. This finding provides an explanation for the inhibitory effect of steroid hormones on germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) of mouse oocytes in vitro. F

## Abstract EGF has been reported to promote oocyte maturation in several species, although the mechanism of action is not yet known. The present study is designed to determine the pathway used by EGF to enhance porcine oocyte maturation. Oocytes were aspirated from 2β5 mm follicles and cultured wi
## Abstract A factor that blocks serotonin (5βhydroxytryptamine, 5βHT)βinduced maturation of __Spisula__ oocytes was purified from __Spisula__ oocytes by ultrafiltration through a PMβ10 membrane, charcoal adsorption, and reversedβphase HPLC on a Partisil ODSβ3 column, The oocyte factor is a heatβst
Ripe ovarian follicles of Xenopus laeuis, like those of Rana p i p i e n s are capable of responding to gonadotropins even when their peritoneal epithelium and theca are removed by collagenase. Puromycin or cycloheximide stop oocyte maturation whether stimulated by gonadotropins or progesterone in v
