Distribution of cortical granules in rabbit and hamster oocytes

Oocytes	No. of rabbit oocytes examined	No. (%) of oocytes with cortical granules immediately beneath the plasma membrane	No. of hamster oocytes examined	No. (%) of oocytes with cortical granules immediately beneath the plasma membrane
Ovulated	30	22 (73.3)^a	27	21 (77.7)^a
Cultured	23	17 (73.9)^a	24	18 (75.0)^a
MU‐treated	23	17 (73.9)^a	30	25 (83.3)^a
Control	27	20 (74.1)^a	32	27 (84.4)^a

The rabbit oocytes with cumulus cells and hamster oocytes without cumulus cells were cultured in BO or mTALP3 medium with 0.25 mm MU (MU‐treated), or in BO or mTALP3 medium without MU (control)

Values with different superscripts in the same column in each group of experiments are significantly different (p < 0.05)
