Natriuretic peptides improve the developmental competence of in vitro cultured porcine oocytes

Abstract Background Natriuretic peptides (NPs), brain and C type NPs (BNP and CNP), were involved in the maintenance of porcine oocyte meiotic arrest. The present study investigated the effects of NPs on developmental competence of immature porcine oocytes with follicles of different sizes. Methods...
