Testosterone, progesterone, and estradiol-17 beta each inhibit cAMP phosphodiesterase activity of mouse oocyte extracts in a concentration-dependent manner. This finding provides an explanation for the inhibitory effect of steroid hormones on germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) of mouse oocytes in vitro. Furthermore, it raises the possibility that steroid hormones present in follicular fluid participate in maintaining meiotic arrest in vivo by acting in a nonclassical manner.
