Signal transduction induced by generation of second messengers from membrane phopholipids is considered a major regulatory mechanism in control of cell proliferation. We report here that in the Xenopus laevis oocytes model, microinjection of the three most relevant types of phospholipases acting on
## Abstract __Xenopus laevis__ oocyte maturation is induced by the steroid hormone progesterone through a non‐genomic mechanism initiated at the cell membrane. Recently, two __Xenopus__ oocyte progesterone receptors have been cloned; one is the classical progesterone receptor (xPR‐1) involved in ge
## Abstract __Xenopus laevis__ oocyte maturation is induced by the steroid hormone progesterone through a nongenomic mechanism that implicates the inhibition of the effector system adenylyl cyclase (AC). Recently, it has been shown that the G protein βγ heterodimer is involved in oocyte maturation
## Abstract DNA polymerase activity increases in full‐grown oocytes of Xenopus laevis during in vitro progesterone‐induced maturation. This increase in inhibited by cycloheximide. The presence of the oocyte's nucleus (germinal vesicle) seems essential for the induction of this increase: in previous
