A molecular membrane model of sperm capacitation and the acrosome reaction of mammalian spermatozoa Tập 12 Số 2 - Trang 183-224 - 1985
J. Langlais, Kenneth D. Roberts
AbstractThe abundance of data pertaining to the metabolism of lipids in relation
to mammalian fertilization has warranted an effort to assemble a molecular
membrane model for the comprehensive visualization of the biochemical events
involved in sperm capacitation and the acrosome reaction. Derived both from
earlier models as well as from current concepts, our membrane model depicts a
lipid bilayer... hiện toàn bộ
Morphology of immature bovine oocytes Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 197-204 - 1989
Friedemann Loos, Christine van Vliet, P. van Maurik, Th.A.M. Kruip
AbstractBovine cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) as used for in vitro maturation
and fertilization can be classified into different categories by light
microscopical inspection. We have distinguished four categories based on
compactness and transparency of the cumulus investment and homogeneity and
transparency of the ooplasm. The four categories were studied for their
morphological characteristics ... hiện toàn bộ
Induction of the acrosome reaction in human spermatozoa by a fraction of human follicular fluid Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 107-121 - 1986
Susan S. Suárez, Don P. Wolf, Stanley Meizel
AbstractHuman ejaculated spermatozoa were washed through a Percoll gradient,
preincubated for 10 hr in a defined medium containing serum albumin, and then
induced to undergo rapid acrosome reactions by addition of human follicular
fluid or a Sephadex G‐75 column fraction of the fluid. Induction by follicular
fluid did not occur when the spermatozoa were preincubated for only 0 or 5 hr.

Structural changes in bovine oocytes during final maturation in vivo Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 29-47 - 1983
Th.A.M. Kruip, D. G. Cran, Th.H. van Beneden, S.J. Dieleman
AbstractOn the basis of structural observations bovine oocytes were grouped into
four successive classed: 0, those before the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge; 1,
those up to 8 h following the LH peak level; 2, those between 8 and 19 h after
the LH peak level; and 3, those between 19 h after the LH peak level and
ovulation.Oocytes in class 0 had mitochondria located in a generally peripheral
positio... hiện toàn bộ
Incidence of chromosome anomalies in first‐cleavage mouse embryos obtained from frozen‐thawed oocytes fertilized in vitro Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 205-216 - 1987
P. H. Glenister, Maureen J. Wood, Catherine Kirby, D. G. Whittingham
AbstractTo assess the effect of low temperature storage on mouse oocytes we (1)
examined the capacity for normal development of embryos derived from frozen
oocytes fertilized in vitro after transfer to pseudopregnant foster mothers and
(2) analyzed the chromosome complement at the first cleavage division. Fewer
frozen than control oocytes were fertilized (36% vs 66%), but after embryo
transfer the... hiện toàn bộ
Time sequence of germinal vesicle breakdown in pig oocytes after cycloheximide and p‐aminobenzamidine block Tập 19 Số 4 - Trang 423-431 - 1988
Michal Kubelka, J Motík, Josef Fulka, Radek Procházka, Zora Rimkevicova
AbstractAll porcine oocytes cultured 20 hr in medium with 10 μg/ml cycloheximide
rested in the germinal vesicle (GV) stage but with the highly condensed
bivalents in nucleoplasm. When these oocytes were washed and cultured in the
control medium for 2, 4, and 6 hr, germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) was
completed in 0, 86, and 100% of them, respectively. When similarly inhibited
oocytes cultured suc... hiện toàn bộ
Parameters influencing ovum pickup by oviductal fimbria in the golden hamster Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 1-10 - 1983
Cherrie A. Mahi‐Brown, Ryuzo Yanagimachi
AbstractThe process whereby hamster oviductal fimbria transport ova to the
ampulla was investigated in vitro and in vivo with the intent of determining
whether cumulus‐free ova were transported and resolving some of the parameters
involved in cumulus‐isolated from ovaries could not be picked up until 16–17 h
before it would be ovulated. This was apparently related to the time at which
the cumulus ... hiện toàn bộ
Microfilaments during sea urchin fertilization: Fluorescence detection with rhodaminyl phalloidin Tập 14 Số 4 - Trang 277-291 - 1986
Christi Cline, Gerald Schatten
AbstractRhodaminyl‐labeled phalloidin is used to demonstrate the distribution of
microfilaments during fertilization and early development in eggs of the sea
urchins Arbacia punctulata and Lytechinus variegatus. The surface of
unfertilized eggs have numerous punctate fluorescence sites at which rhodaminyl
phalloidin binds, indicating the presence of actin oligomers or polymers. During
fertilizatio... hiện toàn bộ
