Abstract
In mammals, oogonia enter prophase of the first meiotic division in prenatal life, and shortly after birth, all oocytes are arrested in a late prophase known as the dictyate stage, and when an oocyte in an ovary reaches the end of its growth period, it contains a single large nucleus called the germinal vesicle (Franchi et al., 1962). It is now generally accepted that the resumption of the arrested first meiotic division occurs as a result of the surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) at each ovarian cycle (Shuetz, 1969; Tsafriri, 1978a), although the ability to complete the first meiotic division is related as well to the stage of follicular development (Tsafriri and Channing, 1975a; Sorensen and Wassarman, 1976).
