Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced model of spindle and chromosomal defects. Germinal vesicle (GV) stage oocytes were collected from 1 month (1-Mo) and 18-Mo-old mice and were matured in vitro in M2 medium. (A) Metaphase II (MII) oocytes in 1-Mo group either remained in M2 medium or were treated with 25 µM H2O2 for 1 h. The 18-Mo group MII oocytes remained untreated. Mature oocytes were fixed and labeled for spindles (green) and DNA (red). (B) Percentage of oocytes containing aligned or misaligned chromosomes in different groups. Number of oocytes analyzed in each group are shown. ***P ≤ 0.001 and NS, not significant.
