Abstract Considerable evidence implicates cyclic 3′, 5′ adenosine monophosphate
(AMP) in the maintenance of meiotic arrest of mammalian oocytes. Since this laboratory …

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

Adenosine is present in the mouse follicular fluid and has been shown to interfere with
oocyte maturation in vitro. To clarify the mechanism of adenosine action on meiotic arrest …

The cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) content of intact oocyte‐cumulus cell
complexes at various times after the induction of oocyte maturation in mice in vivo was …

Previous studies indicate that an increase in calcium in the oocyte-cumulus complex (OCC)
appears to be associated with induction of oocyte maturation. In contrast, we previously …

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 …

The concentrations of hypoxanthine and adenosine in ovarian follicular fluid were estimated,
using high-performance liquid chromatography, for three groups of mice: 1) pregnant mare's …

The hormone-independent, spontaneous maturation that rat oocytes undergo in vitro can be
inhibited by derivatives of cyclic AMP and inhibitors of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase …

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 …

To determine the effects of adenosine on follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-induced
differentiation, granulosa cells isolated from the ovaries of diethylstilbestrol-treated immature …
