Table 1. Developmental ability of Wistar oocytes matured in vitro in various culture media.

Culture media No. of oocytes
collected from ovaries
No. (%) of oocytes
matured to MII
No. of MII oocytes
activated
No. (%) of oocytes after activation
Pronuclear stage MII stage
(non-activated)
Degenerated and

The percentages of oocytes that matured to MII and those that formed a pronucleus after activation were statistically analyzed. P < 0.05: a vs. b; c vs. d and f; d vs. e, f, and g; e vs. f; f vs. g (chi-square test followed by multiple comparison using Ryan’s method).
