Maternal diabetes has been demonstrated to adversely affect preimplantation embryo
development and pregnancy outcomes. Emerging evidence has implicated that these effects …

In the present study, we have utilized a streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse model to
examine how the diabetic condition and different glucose concentrations affect several …

Fully grown germinal vesicle stage mouse oocytes remain arrested in meiotic prophase I
until ovulation. This arrest is maintained by cGMP produced in cumulus granulosa cells …

This study was carried out to examine how different combinations of pyruvate and glucose
affect spontaneous meiotic maturation of cumulus-cell-enclosed mouse oocytes (CEO) to …

Because of the complications of diabetes affecting the mothers and their fetus/newborns are
less known, this review examined the epidemiologic and mechanistic issues involved in the …

The overall objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the S-enantiomer of roscovitine
(inhibitor of p34 cdc2/cyclin B kinase) to maintain bovine cumulus–oocyte complexes at the …

Polar body formation in oocytes is an extreme form of asymmetric cell division, but what
regulates the asymmetric spindle positioning and cytokinesis is poorly understood. During …

Accumulating evidence has indicated that vertebrate oocytes are arrested at late prophase
(G2 arrest) by a G protein coupled receptor (GpCR) that activates adenylyl cyclases …

Cumulus cell‐enclosed oocytes (CEO), denuded oocytes (DO), or dissected follicles were
obtained 44–48 hr after priming immature mice (20–23 days old) with 5 IU or immature rats …

The current repertoire of human assisted reproduction therapies is undergoing constant
development and improvement. In-vitro maturation (IVM) of near-grown oocytes and in-vitro …
