Fipronil induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in porcine oocytes during in vitro maturation
Fipronil (FPN) is a widely used phenylpyrazole pesticide that can kill pests by blocking γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channels. In addition, there are lack of studies on the effects of FPN on the ...

Zinc depletion activates porcine metaphase II oocytes independently of the protein kinase C pathway
Zinc is an important trace element that regulates several biological functions. This study investigated the role of zinc in the metaphase (M) II arrest of porcine oocytes. N, N, N’, N’-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl...
