(A) Representative images of oocytes with GVBD (2-h) and PBE (14-h) in
the untreated control and IAA-treated groups (5 μM). The arrows highlight
the oocytes with PBE. Scale bar, 100 μm. (B) The rates of GVBD in the
untreated control and IAA-treatment groups (2 μM, 5 μM, and 10
μM) after 2-hour culture. (C) The PBE rates in the untreated control and
IAA-treated groups (2 μM, 5 μM, and 10 μM) after 14-hour
culture. (D) Representative images of the PBE-failure oocytes selected from the
5-μM-IAA-treated group that have been cultured for 14 h (left panel),
continuing another 10-h culture (right panel). Note: No selected oocytes (n=20)
extrude their polar bodies after 24-h culture. Scale bars, 100 μm. A
total of 120 oocytes in the control, 119 oocytes in the 2 μM group, 120
oocytes in the 5 μM group, and 120 oocytes in the 10 μM group were
analyzed for GVBD and PBE rate. Data were presented as mean ± SEM of at
least three independent experiments. ***P < 0.001,
compared with control.
