Actin depolymerization is associated with meiotic acceleration in cycloheximide-treated ovine oocytes

Oocytes treated with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX) arrest at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage and undergo accelerated GV breakdown (GVBD) after CHX is removed. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism of accelerated meiotic maturation. Here, we investigated this m...
