Note

  • One of the major events of structural changes during oocyte maturation is germinal vesicle breakdown (GVB), indicating the reinitiation of meiosis and the disappearance of the germinal vesicle. These structural changes of the oocyte nucleus are initiated in vivo by the LH surge. GVB begins with undulations of the nuclear envelope which continues for about 1-2 h. These undulations may correlate with the onset of chromosome condensation and the detachment of chromosomes from their site-specific partners in the nuclear membrane. (Source : INRA)
