Introduction: A role for oocyte core 1-derived O-glycans in the regulation of ovarian follicle development has previously been shown using the C1galt1F/F:ZP3Cretransgenic mouse model. In this model, oocyte-specific ablation of core 1-derived O-glycans results in a sustained increase in ovulation rate and fertility, which is hypothesized to be due to changes in follicle development. In this study, we sought to characterise the role of oocyte core 1-derived O-glycans ...
