Abstract

|
The morphological changes on nuclear phase of the germinal vesicle of porcine follicular oocytes during in vitro culture were examined. The high rates (75~77%) of the oocytes collected from follicles of 1~2mm or 6~100mm in diameter were at the GV-I to GV-II stages. When oocytes with or without cumulus cells after collection from follicles of 2~6mm in diameter were cultured for 5 h, the rates of oocytes at GV-IV to GV-Ⅵ stages were higher in oocytes with (52%) than in oocytes without (30%) cumulus cells. After 1 h of oocyte culture, there was no differences in the distribution of GV-IV to GV - Ⅵ stages in the media with or without catalase, xanthine and catalase＋xanthine. After 5 h of culture, however, the distribution of GV-IV to GV-Ⅵ stages were 46, 69, 69 and 70% for medium with none, catalase, xanthine and catalase＋xanthine. The highest rate of GVBD was also observed in the medium with catalase＋xanthine (6%). These results indicate that exposure of porcine follicular oocytes to catalase＋xanthine excels maturation to GV stage and enhances oocyte nuclear maturation.
