1) DO+MGCs and OCGCs collected from early antral follicles (0.5–0.7 mm) were subjected to in vitro maturation culture after in vitro growth culture. 2) Oocytes were collected from early antral follicles for culturing. 3) Fully grown oocytes were collected from antral follicles (4–6 mm). 4) FC, filamentous chromatin; SC, stringy chromatin; GV, germinal vesicle I–IV; ED, early diakinesis; LD, late diakinesis; MI, metaphase I; AI-TI, anaphase I and telophase I; MII, metaphase II; DG, degeneration.
