A Comparison of the In Vitro Viability of Ova from Hormone-Treated Mice with Ova from Spontaneous Ovulations

Abstract

The results of this study show that the viability of ova obtained from hormone-treated females is equal to that of ova from spontaneous ovulations in the two strains of mice studied (Swiss-Webster and C57BAL/6Cum). Approximately 90% of all cultured ova developed from the late two-cell or early four-cell stages to blastocysts. The use of exogenous hormones to induce ovulation seems to afford a reliable, efficient, and economic means of obtaining fertilized mammalian ova.
