Figure 5.3 Effects <strong>of</strong> different caffeine concentrations on MPF and MAPK activities<br />
in TI and early MII porcine oocytes<br />
A) Levels <strong>of</strong> MPF and MAPK activities. TI and early MII oocytes were cultured in different<br />
concentrations (0,5,10,20 mM) <strong>of</strong> caffeine for 6 h. B) A representative autoradiograph <strong>of</strong><br />
histone H1 (MPF) and MBP (MAPK) assay. Lane 1: denuded intact MII oocytes without<br />
caffeine treatment at 44 hpm; Lane 2: 20 mM caffeine treatment; Lane 3: 10 mM caffeine<br />
treatment; Lane 4: 5 mM caffeine treatment; Lane 5: 0 mM caffeine treatment. Ten oocytes<br />
were analysed for each sample per gel and three replicates were performed. Bars<br />
represent mean ± SEM.<br />
