Development of Cell Volume Regulatory Mechanisms During Oocyte Growth and Meiotic Maturation

The ability of oocytes and early cleavage-stage embryos to regulate their volume is essential to avoid developmental arrests at in vivo-osmolarities. This is accomplished primarily via GLYT1-mediated glycine transport into the cells. GLYT1 activity has previously been shown to be absent in freshly i...
