Abstract

Our previous study has suggested that muscarinic receptor present in the mouse oocytes, and Ca/sup 2+/ waves elicited by acetylcholine (ACh) are similar to those induced by sperm. A numerous study reported that ACh could cause early activation events in mouse oocytes overexpressing the Ml muscarinic receptor (Williams et al., 1992; Moore et al., 1993; Kim et al., 1998). However, the physiological role of ACh during mouse embryonic development is poorly understood. (omitted)
