This study was conducted to investigate effects of L-ascorbic acid and selenium on maturation, fertilization, and development ablity of porcine follicular oocytes in vitro. When the follicular oocytes were cultured in the media containing 0, 62.5, 100 and 300 muM of L-ascorbic acid for 40~44h, the percentages of germinal vesicle breakdown were 86.8, 92.9, 91.7 and 92.6% respectively, and the nuclear maturation rates (M II) were 44.7, 57.1, 52.8 and 53.7%. The nuclear maturation rates of treated groups were significantly higher than those of non-treated group (p＜0.05). When the follicular oocytes were cultured at 0, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.5muM of selenium for 40~44h, the nuclear maturation rates of treated groups were significantly higher than those of non-treated group (p＜0.05). The addition of L-ascorbic acid or selenium to the maturation medium, the incidence of male pronuclear formation was significantly increased (p＜0.05) and polyspermy rate was significantly decreased (p＜0.05). The addition of L-ascorbic acid or selenium to the maturation medium increased the clevage rate, morula and blastocyst rate (p＜0.05). These results suggested that the addition of L-ascorbic acid and selenium to maturation medium increase the nuclear maturation rates, male pronuclear formation and normal embryonic development: in porcine oocytes matured and fertilized in vitro.
