Abstract
Considering the insufficiency of morphological assessment for evaluation of oocytes, other evaluation parameters like glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activity are becoming popular. The present experiment was conducted to study the effect of follicular size on G6PDH activity of buffalo oocytes. The overall average of BCB+ (inactive G6PDH) and BCB- (active G6PDH) COCs in the present study was recorded to be 51.68±1.25 and 48.32±1.25%, respectively. The BCB+ COCs in large follicle (56.42±0.47) was significantly (p<0.01) higher as compared to small follicles (45.82±0.56). The reverse was observed in BCB- COCs where significantly (p<0.01) higher proportion of BCB- COCs was recorded in small follicle (54.18±0.56) as compared to large follicles (43.58±0.47), thus indicating better developmental competence of oocytes derived from large follicles.
