Effect of Rat Medicated Serum Containing You Gui Wan on Mouse Oocyte In Vitro Maturation and Subsequent Fertilization Competence

Figure 2

Effect of the rat medicated serum containing YGW on the percentage of GVDB oocytes and PB1 oocytes. (a) shows no significant difference in the percentage of GVBD oocytes observed among the groups on day 1 of the culture. (b) shows more oocytes with the PB1 stages found in the rat medicated serum, FSH, and normal rat serum groups when compared to the blank control group on day 2 of the culture ( for rat medicated group versus blank control group; for FSH group versus blank control group; for normal rat serum group versus blank control group). (c) shows representative images of light micrographs of oocytes on day 1 and day 2 in the normal rat serum group, the FSH group, the rat medicated serum group, and the blank control group. Scale bar is set to 100 μm. C, NS, FSH, and MS are abbreviations for blank control, normal rat serum, FSH, and rat medicated serum, respectively.
