Preimplantation Developmental Competence of Bovine and Porcine Oocytes Activated by Zinc Chelation

Preimplantation Developmental Competence of Bovine and Porcine Oocytes Activated by Zinc Chelation

After sperm-oocyte fusion, intracytoplasmic rises of calcium (Ca) induce the release of zinc (Zn) out of the oocyte (Zn sparks). Both phenomena are known to play an essential role in the oocyte activation process. Our work aimed to explore different protocols for activating bovine and porcine oocyte...
