Fig. 1.

Retrieval, maturation and activation of oocytes derived from B6CBAF1 either superovulated or not (natural mating).

For numerical comparison, number of oocytes retrieved per mouse either superovulated or not (A), percentage of metaphase II stage oocytes to retrieved oocytes (B), percentage of pronuclear stage oocytes to metaphase II stage oocytes (C) were counted. Statistical comparison employing PLOC-GLM model was conducted with numerical values and data are presented as mean ± SE. Model effects (p value) of each parameter were less than 0.0001 (A), 0.0563 (B) and 0.4863 (C). Asterisk indicated statistical siginficance with other treatments (p < 0.0563).
