  1. Porcine oocytes were matured in vitro for 44 h and Hoechst stain was performed to evaluate oocyte maturation stages in control (n = 369 evaluated oocytes). Oocytes in GV and MI, were considered immature and oocytes in MII as matured. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD)
  2. GV = germinal vesicle; MI = metaphase I; MII = metaphase II
