Figure 1

Effects of holding in EH medium on initial chromatin configuration and meiotic competence of equine oocytes. Legend for meiotic stages: FN = Homogenous/heterogeneously fluorescent nucleus; F/I = Fibrillar/Intermediate; MI = Metaphase I; MII = Metaphase II, Deg = degenerated chromatin. Legend for treatments: EH = EH treatment (non-cultured); IMM = Immediate fixing (non cultured); EH-IVM = EH treatment and subsequent in vitro maturation; IMM-IVM = Immediate in vitro maturation. Chi Square test with the Yates correction: within each group (Non cultured or cultured for IVM) and for each meiotic stage, EH vs IMM: *P <0.05, **P <0.01 , ***P <0.001; EH-IVM vs IMM-IVM: **P <0.01 , ***P <0.001.
