Estrogen improves the development of yak (Bos grunniens) oocytes by targeting cumulus expansion and levels of oocyte-secreted factors during in vitro maturation.
The estrogen-signalling pathway is critical for normal follicular development; however, little is known about its importance during in vitro maturation (IVM) in large animals, particularly yaks (Bos grunniens).
