Modification of the nucleolar structure of the rat oocyte observed just before maturation
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
Oocytes removed from antral follicles of 28- to 30-day-old rats treated with FSH (Folligon) show cavities and vesicles in the nucleoli. Repeated injections of Folligon significantly increase the frequency of these nucleolar inclusions. A possible relationship between intranucleolar cavities and rRNA metabolism has been suggested to account for this occurrence.
