| Research Abstract |
It is important to identify reliable indicators of oocyte quality for efficient embryo production and infertility treatment. Determination of oocyte quality by morphological assessment is a relatively popular method because it is noninvasive and convenient. In this study, the feature of the high quality oocyte was clarified based on the meiotic spindle of a mature oocyte. Furthermore, the factor in connection with this was identified and the index which leads to evaluation of the quality of an oocyte was established based on the result in a molecular level.
