Figure 5From: Mammalian oocytes are targets for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) actionMouse oocyte maturation in vitro. Mouse oocytes retrieved at the GV stage were maintained in culture with vehicle or PGE2 for 2 hours and assessed for progression to GVBD. Data are expressed as mean + SEM, n = 4 animals. Rate of progression to GVBD in the presence of PGE2 tended to be lower than for vehicle-treated oocytes by paired t-test, p = 0.075.Back to article page
