Glycolytic metabolites are critical modulators of oocyte maturation and viability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The maturation of an oocyte into an egg is a key step in preparation for fertilization. In Xenopus, oocyte maturation is independent of transcription, being regulated at the level of translation and post-translational modifications of proteins.

Revista Científica, 2023 Oocyte maturation is a critical step for in vitro embryo production. In female cats, findings on the influence of the estrous cycle stage on oocyte quality and maturation are contradictory.

In vivo induction of oocyte maturation and ovulation in zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The maturation of fish oocytes is a well-characterized system induced by progestins via non-genomic actions. In a previous study, we demonstrated that diethylstilbestrol (DES), a non-steroidal estrogen, induces fish oocyte maturation via the membrane ...

The role of sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in in vitro oocyte maturation
Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2021 In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes is the procedure where the immature oocytes are cultivated in a laboratory until they are mature. Since IVM oocytes generally have low developmental competence as compared to those matured in vivo, development of an ...

Oocyte Maturation and Development [PDF]
F1000Research, 2016 Sexual reproduction is essential for many organisms to propagate themselves. It requires the formation of haploid female and male gametes: oocytes and sperms. These specialized cells are generated through meiosis, a particular type of cell division that produces cells with recombined genomes that differ from their parental origin.

Involvement of the serine protease inhibitor, SERPINE2, and the urokinase plasminogen activator in cumulus expansion and oocyte maturation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade E, member 2 (SERPINE2) inhibits urokinase-type plasminogen activator (PLAU) and tissue-type plasminogen activator.

Dual effects of hydrogen sulfide donor on meiosis and cumulus expansion of porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been revealed to be a signal molecule with second messenger action in the somatic cells of many tissues, including the reproductive tract. The aim of this study was to address how exogenous H2S acts on the meiotic maturation of

Failure of oocyte maturation: Possible mechanisms for oocyte maturation arrest [PDF]
Human Reproduction, 2003 For human IVF, the patient's ovaries are hormonally stimulated to ensure the collection of fully matured oocytes that are at the metaphase II stage. Only these oocytes can be successfully fertilized either when mixed with sperm or after ICSI. Nevertheless, in some cases immature or maturing oocytes are recovered from follicles.
