Abstract

The inhibition of progesterone-induced oocyte maturation by diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), a typical serine protease inhibitor, was investigated in oocytes of the Japanese toad Bufo japonicus for the first time. Oocytes to which DFP was externally applied did not undergo germinal vesicle breakdow...
