Biochemical Hallmarks of Oxidative Stress-Induced Overactivation of Xenopus Eggs

Egg overactivation occurs with a low frequency in the populations of naturally ovulated frog eggs. At present, its natural inducers, molecular mechanisms, and intracellular events remain unknown. Using microscopic and biochemical analyses, we demonstrate here that high levels of hydrogen peroxide-in...
