Effects of inhibiting nitric oxide synthase on cumulus expansion and nuclear maturation of sheep oocytes

Nitric oxide (NO) is a biological signaling molecule that plays a crucial role in oocyte maturation of mammalians. It is generated by the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzyme from l-arginine. Although the effect of NO has been shown in oocyte maturation of some species, there is no report about its ef...
