Effect of Oocyte Age and Activation Agents on in Vitro Development of Mouse Parthenogenetic Embryos
Abstract:The present study was conducted to explore the effect of oocyte age and activation agents on initiation and development of mouse parthenogenetic embryos. A total of 943 mouse oocytes were divided into 9 treatments based on a completely randomized design with 3 x 3 factorial patterns; with the first factor was oocyte ages: 14-, 17-and 20-hr-old (were calculated based on the time of oocytes collection after the administration of hCG) and the second factor was activation agents (ethanol, calcium ionophore A23187,… Show more
