Abstract EN
Egg overactivation occurs with a low frequency in the populations of naturally ovulated frog eggs.
At present, its natural inducers, molecular mechanisms, and intracellular events remain unknown.
Using microscopic and biochemical analyses, we demonstrate here that high levels of hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress can cause time- and dose-dependent overactivation of Xenopus eggs.
Lipofuscin accumulation, decrease of soluble cytoplasmic protein content, and depletion of intracellular ATP were found to take place in the overactivated eggs.
Progressive development of these processes suggests that egg overactivation unfolds in a sequential and ordered fashion.
