In this study we tested the hypothesis that the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)
participates in the meiotic induction of mouse oocytes. The electron acceptors methylene …

This study was carried out to test the hypothesis that purine nucleotide‐generating pathways
are required for ligand‐stimulated oocyte maturation in meiotically arrested cumulus cell …

This study was performed to address the possible role of pyruvate in meiotic induction in
mouse oocytes. Cumulus cell-enclosed oocytes from primed, immature mice were cultured …

The requirement for oxidative metabolism of pyruvate during oogenesis in vivo was
evaluated by inactivating Pdha1, a gene encoding an enzymatic subunit of pyruvate …

This study was carried out to examine the metabolism of [1-14C]-,[6-14C]-, and [5-3H]
glucose by oocyte-cumulus cell complexes (OCC) and denuded oocytes (DO) and to test the …

To test the hypothesis that culture conditions influence meiotic regulation in mouse oocytes,
we have examined the effects of six culture media, four organic buffers, and pH on …

Previous studies have suggested a critical role for purines in the maintenance of mouse
oocytes in meiotic arrest. If so, then disrupting specific purine metabolic pathways in vivo …

The objectives of this study were to manipulate metabolism of glucose through glycolysis
and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) in porcine oocytes during in vitro maturation, and …

In this study, the effect of different energy sources used in Eagle's minimum essential
medium on the meiotic maturation of mouse oocytes in culture was examined. The effects of …

In vitro use of arresters of meiosis could improve cytoplasmic maturation of immature
oocytes by controlling the period of prophase I. Phosphodiesterases (PDE) are responsible …
