ANIMAL REPRODUCTION SCIENCE, 98(1-2), 97–112.

By: C. Farin n, K. Rodriguez*, J. Alexander n, J. Hockney n, J. Herrick * & S. Kennedy-Stoskopf n

author keywords: meiosis; FSH; EGF; oocyte maturation; gene transcription
MeSH headings : Animals; Cell Culture Techniques; Dichlororibofuranosylbenzimidazole / pharmacology; Epidermal Growth Factor / pharmacology; Female; Follicle Stimulating Hormone / pharmacology; Horses; Mammals; Mice; Mitosis; Oocytes / drug effects; Oocytes / physiology; Transcription, Genetic
TL;DR: Results presented support the conclusions that EGF-induced oocytes maturation does not require nascent gene transcription in both mice and domestic cats and FSH requires gene transcription to induce oocyte maturation in both species. (via Semantic Scholar)

2004 article

Gene transcription and regulation of oocyte maturation

REPRODUCTION FERTILITY AND DEVELOPMENT, Vol. 16, pp. 55–67.

By: K. Rodriguez n & C. Farin n

author keywords: amanitin; bovine; 5,6-dicholoro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-benzimidazole; follicle-stimulating hormone; gonadotropins; meiosis; murine
