Abstract
The application of etoposide for chemical enucleation of rat oocytes was tested. The reconstruction efficiency after chemical and mechanical enucleation was comparatively analyzed. The obtained data indicate similar viability of reconstructed rat embryos irrespective of the enucleation technique.
