Abstract
Lowering the external concentrations of both Mg+2 and Ca+2 caused failure of meiotic resumption invitroof bovine, oocyte-cumulus complexes. Lowering of external Ca+2 levels singly had no effect on either meiotic resumption or completion of the first meiotic division. Lowering of external Mg+2 concentration on meiotic resumption invitro when Ca+2 was present, did interfere with the completion of the first meiotic division. The result was arrest of oocyte matuaration between germinal vesicle breakdown and formation of the first metaphase plate.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
