Extract

Much effort has been focused on establishing optimal conditions for obtaining in vitro maturation of oocytes from different species with results comparable to those achieved after in vivo development (reviewed by Brackett, 1992). However, even though extraordinary progress has been made, the in vitro technology for oocyte maturation lags far behind that in vivo and improvements are needed to increase the quantity and quality of the embryos produced from these matured oocytes.
