Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is one of the key regulators of the resumption of oocyte meiosis (oocyte
maturation) in several mammalian species. In this study we have examined the role for …

The involvement of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in mammalian oocyte maturation was assessed
using cultures of rabbit cumulus–oocyte complexes and in-vitro perfused rabbit ovaries …

The involvement of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in mammalian oocyte
maturation was assessed using cultures of rabbit cumulus–oocyte complexes and perfused …

The influence of cyclic nucleotides on meiosis in isolated rat oocytes was studied. It is known
that dbcAMP inhibits the spontaneous maturation of isolated rat oocytes. However, the effect …

The possible mediatory role of cAMP in the induction of oocyte maturation by luteinizing
hormone (LH) is not yet clear since evidence for both inhibitory and stimulatory actions of the …

This experiment attempted to determine the effect of cAMP on maturation of bovine oocytes
in chemically-defined, serum-free medium. Cumulus-oocyte complexes were incubated in …

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is an important molecule in signal transduction
within the cell, functioning as a second cell messenger of gonadotrophin stimulation. The …

The rate of spontaneous meiotic maturation and the period of commitment to this process
were determined in bovine oocytes devoid of surounding cumulus cells, cultured in …

In mammalian ovaries, a fixed population of primordial follicles forms during the perinatal
stage and the oocytes contained within are arrested at the dictyate stage of meiotic …

Forskolin (0–100 μ m), a reversible stimulator of the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase,
induced dose—response increases in the% germinal vesicle (GV)(ID 50= 2· 68 μ m, where …
