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 …

The effect of adenylate cyclase stimulation via the components of the enzyme on nuclear
maturation in bovine cumulus-enclosed and zona-free oocytes was examined. The …

Cytogenetic data are presented which indicate species differences in the response of
oocytes maturing in vitro in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP). Inhibition of ewe …

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

This experiment was designed to analyze the effect of adenylate cyclase stimulation on
cumulus-enclosed immature oocytes. More than 1400 selected (complete and unexpanded …

The present study was undertaken to assess the role of alterations of intraoocyte cAMP
concentrations in the meiotic maturation of isolated and follicle-enclosed oocytes. In isolated …

Forskolin, a reversible stimulator of the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase, has been used
to determine:(1) whether an increase in hamster cumulus cell cyclic adenosine …

The effect of increasing cytoplasmic calcium on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)‐
dependent meiotic arrest (% GV where GV is germinal vesicle) in hamster oocytes was …

The present study was undertaken to determine the precise stage of growth at which the
ability to resume meiosis is acquired in bovine oocytes. Oocytes of various sizes were …

We have reported that in vitro treatment with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) delays by
about 3 h spontaneous meiotic resumption in cumulus cell-enclosed mouse oocytes. In the …
