Abstract:This study directly tested the hypothesis that the induction of oocyte maturation on catfish Clariasgrapienusby insulin aspartresulted in a transient decrease of oocyte cyclic AMP (cAMP) level due to the increase ofphosphodiesterase (PDE) activity. Under the influence of insulin the germinal vesicle (GV) of the oocyte migrated towards the animal pole (GVM), reached the micropyle, and then dissolved (GVBD). By using different concentrations of insulin aspart i.e., 0 U/ml, 0.01 U/ml, 0.1 U/ml, 1 U/ml and 10 U/ml… Show more
