Effects of follicle-stimulating hormone, bovine somototrophin and okadaic acid on cumulus expansion and nuclear maturation of Blue fox ( Alopex lagopus) oocytes in vitro
The meiotic competence and meiosis resumption of Blue fox ( Alopex lagopus ) oocytes from anoestrous animals were followed. Oocyte–cumulus complexes (OCC) were cultured in modified TC 199 medium with or without FSH, recombinant bovine somatotrophin (bST) and okadaic acid (OA). The results showed tha...

The meiotic competence and meiosis resumption of Blue fox ( Alopex lagopus ) oocytes from anoestrous animals were followed. Oocyte–cumulus complexes (OCC) were cultured in modified TC 199 medium with or without FSH, recombinant bovine somatotrophin (bST) and okadaic acid (OA).
