The second messenger cyclic adenosine 5′ monophosphate (cAMP) has been implicated
in controlling meiotic maturation. To date, there have been no direct measurements of cAMP …

Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a second messenger that plays a critical role in follicular recruitment,
development and luteinization in the mammalian ovary. The cellular level of cAMP is largely …

Postovulatory aging of oocytes significantly affects embryonic development. Also, altered
Ca2+ oscillation patterns can be observed in fertilized, aged mouse oocytes. Because Ca2+ …

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 …

High cAMP levels during in vitro maturation (IVM) have been related to improved blastocyst
yields. Here, we employed the cAMP/cGMP modulators, forskolin, IBMX, and cilostamide …

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) has been implicated as an important regulator of
meiotic maturation in mammalian oocytes. A decrease in cAMP, brought about by the action …

The present study was designed to address the physiological role played by cAMP on gap
junction (GJ) mediated communications between oocyte and cumulus cells during in vitro …

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 …

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 …

Under the influence of gonadotropins or growth factors, a close cooperation develops
between cumulus cells and the oocyte that is implicated in transmitting signals involved in …
