| Treatment | Total | MII | MI | Other | Dead |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 102 | 81 (79.4) | 14 (13.7) | 4 (3.9) | 2(1.9) |
| BMP4 | 98 | 71 (72.4) | 16 (16.3) | 0 | 6 (6.2) |
| Noggin | 89 | 72 (80.8) | 10 (11.2) | 2 (2.2) | 5 (5.6) |
Meiotic stages, determined by nuclear staining of oocytes matured for 24 h in the presence of 100 ng/ml of BMP4 or Noggin. Control group was matured without any supplementation (Fisher test). MII: metaphase II; MI: metaphase I. Other: anaphase and telophase
