Abstract:It is well known that the survivability of gametes of postmortem carcass was decreased as time passes after death. In this study, it was examined whether cytoplasmic replacement rescues the
survivability of germinal vesicle stage (GV) oocytes of postmortem carcass in the mouse. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and mitochondria numbers in GV oocytes of the dead mice stored
at 4 degrees were significantly impaired after 44 h postmortem compared to the control (0 h). However, when kayoplasts of GV oocytes of … Show more
