The objectives of the present study were to examine the relationship between catalase (0.1 mg/mell) and xanthine (5 mM) on in vitro maturation of porcine follicular oocytes. At 48 h after maturation, the proportions of oocytes matured to metaphase-II stage were significantly higher (P＜0.05) in the medium with control (72%), catalase (73%) or catalase plus xanthine (70%) than of oocytes cultured with xanthine (54%). On the other hand, oocytes cultured in medium with catalase and/or xanthine for 30 h were not significantly different in maturation rates (6~l4%). At 36, 42 and 48 h after culture, however, the maturation rates were significantly (P＜0.05) higher in medium with (49~70%) that than without (29~50%) catalase regardless of presence of xanthine. When the oocytes were cultured with periods prolonged in medium with and without xanthine, the maturation rates did increase with high proportions at 72 h of culture. No significant differences, however, were observed in maturation rates between groups with and without catalase. On the other hand, degenerated oocytes were increased with culture periods, the proportions was significantly (P＜0.05) lower in medium with (28%) than without (47%) catalase at 120 h of culture. However, there were no significant difffrences between with and without catalase in medium added xanthine. The parthenogenetic oocytes were observed from 72 h after culture in medium with xanthine, but were no significant differences between with and without catalase. From these results, it is indicated that porcine oocytes nay respond to maturation stimulus by 72 h of culture in medium with catalase and xanthine and that parthenogenesis can be obtained with prolonged culture periods.
