Abstract
|
|
|
|
The glycogen content of the oocytes at the various stages of meiotic division induced during culture was determined by a microspectrophotometer. The PAS intensity decreased gradually as the meiotic resumption progressed. The amount of glycongen was also decreased in the degenerated ova. Is is concluded that the glycogen consumption in necessary for the meiotic resumption and that the glycogen loss while the germinal vesicle is intact seems to lead degeneration. These results suggest that the endogenous glycogen is important to support meiosis.
