Abstract
- In developing ovarian oocytes of 2-day-old, 12-day-old and adult hamsters, oxidative enzyme activity as demonstrated by the cerium technique is strongest at 12 days and occurs principally in those oocytes which have begun rapid growth. The reaction is associated with the outer mitochondrial membrane, nearby cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope. Once antrum formation has begun and the mitochondria have reached the dormant (storage) stage, cerium reactivity ceases. In adults, reaction occurs at the same stages of oocyte development but is weaker and limited to the mitochondria and their immediate vicinity.
