RESUMO
In present study,comparisons were carried out to develop and improve in vitro mauration(IVM) systems of goat oocytes. Oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 supplemented with(1)10% sera (either estrous goat serum (EGS) or fetal bovine serum(FBS)) + 20 mg/L luteinizing hormone (LH) + 10 mg/L follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) + 1 mg/L estradiol (E2); (2)10% EGS with different gonadotropins(LH: FSH) at a concentration of 5 mg/L: 0.5 mg/L or at 20 mg/L: 10 mg/L with0. 075 IU/mL human menopausal gonadotropin(HMG),1 mg/L estradiol 17β; (3)10% EGS+ 0. 075 mg/L HMG+10-20 μg/EGF. The culture was also performed by M199 supplemented with 10% EGS+0. 075 mg/L HMG+ 10-20 μg/L EGF into ultra-filtrated water which was derived either from self-producing or from purchased for use. The oocytes were cultured at 38 ℃,5% CO2 in air for 24 h,and the meterphase Ⅱ stage oocytes were examined under dissecting microscope. The results showed that EGS was better than FBS in supporting goat oocyte IVM. An addition of HMG in M199 could improve oocyte maturation and induce a higher percentage of metaphase Ⅱ oocytes compared to gonadotropins. 10-20 μg/L EGF improved goat oocyte maturation but the influence was not significant. Fresh,high quality water was vital for oocyte IVM. In conclusion,under our conditions with IVM ,the best result in maturation of goat oocyte has been M199 supplemented with 10% EGS+0.075 IU/mL HMG+10-20 μg/L EGF and prepared in fresh purified water.
