Table 2. Rat Oocyte Activation.

Parthenogenic:
Treatment Activated Degenerate
None 14/156 (9.0) 15/156 (9.6)
Sr2+ 23/29 (79.3) ** 6/29 (20.7)
Ionomycin (I) 16/62 (25.8) 7/62 (11.3)
I + DMAP 61/127 (48.0) ** 21/127 (16.5)
I + Bohemine 61/119 (51.3) ** 34/119 (28.6) *

Activation data are the number of normal appearing 2–4 cell embryos after 24 hours/total (%). Degenerate embryos are those that exhibited extensive fragmentation/uneven division of the ooplasm. Data are compiled from a minimum of 3 separate experiments (*  =  p<0.05, ** =  p<0.01, compared to untreated group).
