“…Thereafter, it was reported in several mammalian species, including mice (Abbott et al, 1998;Lord et al, 2013), rat (Chaube et al, 2007;Chaube, 2013, 2014;Prasad et al, 2015b), hamster ( Juetten and Bavister, 1983), porcine (Ito et al, 2003(Ito et al, , 2004Ruddock et al, 2001), bovine (Sergeev and Norman, 2003), and human eggs (Combelles et al, 2011;Escrich et al, 2011;Lu et al, 2006). Recent studies from our laboratory suggest that postovulatory aging-mediated abortive SEA shows initiation of PBII extrusion that is never completed and further arrest at the metaphase III-(MIII) like stage due to scattering of chromosomes throughout the egg cytoplasm Chaube, 2013, 2014).…”
