Fertil Steril . 1998 Dec; 70(6):1126-30. PMID: 9848305
Objective: To test the hypothesis that activin A promotes in vitro human oocyte meiotic maturation while inhibiting steroid secretion by nonluteinized antral granulosa cells. Design: Prospective randomized controlled study. Setting:...

Fertil Steril . 1998 Dec; 70(6):1015-21. PMID: 9848288
Objective: To determine the efficiency of in vitro maturation, expressed by nuclear maturation, of oocytes aspirated during gynecologic surgeries or collected from excised ovaries. To assess the effect of patient...

Fertil Steril . 1997 Oct; 68(4):607-12. PMID: 9341598
Objective(s): To determine whether follicular fluid (FF) from women of advanced reproductive age had a relative deficiency of the angiogenic cytokine vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor. Furthermore, we sought...

Fertil Steril . 1996 Oct; 66(4):646-53. PMID: 8816632
Objective: A role for inhibin and activin in primate oocyte maturation was investigated. Design: The maturation and fertilization of rhesus monkey oocytes recovered from the excised ovaries of nine regularly...

Coskun S, Uzumcu M, Lin Y, Friedman C, Alak B
Biol Reprod . 1995 Sep; 53(3):670-5. PMID: 7578692
This study was designed to investigate whether porcine oocytes produce a factor(s) that influences cumulus and mural granulosa cell steroid production and to characterize the biochemical nature and mode of...

Alak B, Wolf D
Biol Reprod . 1994 Nov; 51(5):879-87. PMID: 7849190
Our objectives were to improve the efficiency of rhesus monkey oocyte maturation and fertilization in vitro and to determine the influence of menstrual cycle phase and exogenous gonadotropins on these...
