Induction of the acrosome reaction in human spermatozoa by a fraction of human follicular fluidWiley - 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.

Morphology of immature bovine oocytesWiley - 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
Parameters influencing ovum pickup by oviductal fimbria in the golden hamsterWiley - 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
Structural changes in bovine oocytes during final maturation in vivoWiley - 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
Time sequence of germinal vesicle breakdown in pig oocytes after cycloheximide and p‐aminobenzamidine blockWiley - 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
Incidence of chromosome anomalies in first‐cleavage mouse embryos obtained from frozen‐thawed oocytes fertilized in vitroWiley - 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
A molecular membrane model of sperm capacitation and the acrosome reaction of mammalian spermatozoaWiley - 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
Multiple molecular forms of acid nitrophenyl phosphatase in sea urchin eggs and embryosWiley - Tập 2 Số 2 - Trang 177-185 - 1979
Yukio Yokota, Eizo Nakano
AbstractAcid nitrophenyl phosphatases from sea urchin eggs and embryos were
investigated by gel filtration. Four different forms were found in Hemicentrotus
pulcherrimus, and three forms in Anthocidaris crassispina and Pseudocentrotus
depressus.The first and second forms (designated AcP‐1 and AcP‐2) had the
highest activity in the range of pH 5.6–6.0. The third (designated AcP‐3) had an
apparent o... hiện toàn bộ
