OXIDATION OF PYRUVATE AND GLUCOSE BY OOCYTES OF THE MOUSE AND RHESUS MONKEY

Summary.: Carbon dioxide formed by the mouse oocyte from glucose was 0·145 pmol/hr/oocyte, which is the same as the value previously found for unfertilized mouse ova. Carbon dioxide formed by the Rhesus monkey oocyte from pyruvate and glucose was 12·77 and 0·73 pmol/hr/oocyte, respectively. Pyruvate is probably a major energy source for all early mammalian embryos.
