Changes in glucose metabolism in premeiotic and meiotic ovaries of the hamster.
The metabolism of glucose changed significantly at the time of the onset of meiosis in the hamster ovary. There was a large drop in the CO2 evolution from labelled glucose and it could be attributed to alterations in the metabolic patterns in the germ cells which represented 80-90% of the ovarian cell population at the time of the studies. The reduced glycolytic metabolism was well established in the oocyte at the diplotene stage of the first meiotic division.
