Oocyte <i>in vitro</i> maturation does not entirely support all the nuclear and cytoplasmic changes that occur physiologically, and it is poorly understood whether <i>in vitro</i> maturation affects the competence of cortical granules to secrete their content during cortical reaction. Here, we characterize cortical granule exocytosis (CGE) in live mouse oocytes activated by strontium chloride using the fluorescent lectin FITC-LCA. We compared the kinetic of CGE between ovulated (<i>in vivo</i> m ...[more]
