Abstract:Oocyte cryopreservation is a strategic tool for in vitro embryo production, but low rates of cryosurvival are reported for bovine oocytes. Simulated physiological oocyte maturation system (Albuz et al. 2010 Hum. Reprod. 25, 12) uses cAMP modulators to increase oocyte competence by the extension of meiosis block and gap junctional communications activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of simulated physiological oocyte maturation system on gap junctional activity of vitrified bovine oocytes… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
