Effects of Mild and Severe Vitamin B Deficiencies on the Meiotic Maturation of Mice Oocytes
Nutrition and Metabolic Insights, 2017 We investigated the effects of vitamin B 1 deficiency on the meiosis maturation of oocytes. Female Crl:CD1 (ICR) mice were fed a 20% casein diet (control group) or a vitamin B 1 –free diet (test group).
