This study aimed to evaluate the effect of captopril on the in vitro maturation of oocytes. 1627 COCscattle slaughter houses were used, were subsequently screened, classified into grades I and II, according to themorphological quality, and submitted to the IVM process, distributed in four treatments T1 - control; T2 - 5μMof captopril; T3 - 10μM of captopril; and T4 - 15μM of captopril, incubated in an incubator at 38.5 ° C with anatmosphere of 5% CO2. After 22 hours, the COCs were stripped to evaluate the rate of maturation, which wereas follows T1 - 56.60% (120/212); T2 - 60.60% (240/396); T3 - 52.88% (174/329) and T4 - 58.30% (207/355).The results show that there was no statistically significant difference ( P> 0.05) between treatments duringmaturation, concluding that captopril supplementation did not affect the maturation of COCs.
