Involvement of the metabolic hormones leptin, ghrelin, obestatin, IGF-I and of MAP kinase in control of porcine oocyte maturation
The general aim of our in vitro experiments was to study the role of the metabolic hormones leptin, ghrelin, obestatin and IGF-I and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-dependent intracellular mechanisms in the control of nuclear maturation of porcine oocytes. For this purpose, porcine oocytes w...
