Cyclic AMP-degrading PDE activity measured in the oocyte during IVM. Cyclic AMP-PDE activity was measured in isolated denuded oocytes (stripped of cumulus cells) at different time points during COC-cultured IVM. Total (A), IBMX-sensitive (B) and cilostamide-sensitive (C) cAMP-PDE activities measured in the oocyte during COC-cultured IVM. A total of 2100 oocytes were used. Each activity value represents the mean ± SEM of at least three replicates. Statistical analysis by ANOVA showed no significant variation in PDE activities during the IVM period (P > 0.05).
