The effect of protein kinase C activator and nitric oxide donor on oocyte activation and cortical granule exocytosis in porcine eggs

Nitric oxide (NO) and protein kinase C (PKC) are involved in the activation of mammalian oocytes, although their role in the exit from the metaphase II stage and cortical granule (CG) exocytosis is still not fully understood. The aim of this study was to verify whether the NO-donor together with spe...
