In vitro maturation of oocytes is suboptimal to in vivo maturation with altered gene
expression and compromised oocyte quality. The large proteoglycan versican is abundant in …

The surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) in preovulatory ovarian follicles triggers the
resumption of oocyte meiosis accompanied by expansion of surrounding cumulus cells and …

Oxidative stress causes several diseases and dysfunctions in cells, including oocytes.
Clearly, oxidative stress influences oocyte quality during in vitro maturation and fertilization …

The conditions for in vitro oocyte maturation impact on cytoplasmic and nuclear processes in
the oocyte. These events are differentially influenced by the nature of the maturation inducer …

The effect of simulated physiological oocyte maturation on the developmental competence,
reactive oxygen species production and apoptosis rate of in vitro produced goat embryos …

Oocyte maturation is defined as that phase of development whereby a fully grown oocyte
reinitiates meiotic maturation, completes one meiotic division with extrusion of a polar body …

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway is one of the main pathways
responsible for propagating the luteinizing hormone (LH) signal throughout the cumulus …

The oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) technique is important in animal husbandry,
biomedicine, and human-assisted reproduction. However, the developmental potential of in …

In vitro maturation (IVM), the maturation in culture of immature oocytes, has been used in
clinic for more than 20 years. Although IVM has the specific advantages of low cost and …

Background Previous studies have reported that follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is often
added to culture media to induce oocyte meiotic resumption and maturation and to improve …
