The role of cGMP as a mediator of lipolysis in bovine oocytes and its effects on embryo development and cryopreservation.

This study aimed to determine the influence of cyclic guanosine 3'5'-monophosphate (cGMP) and cGMP-dependent kinase (PKG) during in vitro maturation (IVM) on lipolysis-related parameters in bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs), and on embryo development and cryosurvival. COCs were mature...
