Abstract—The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-oxidative effect of L-ascorbic acid (AsA) and 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) on in-vitro maturation of Nili Ravi buffalo cumulus enclosed oocytes (CEOs) and cumulus denuded oocytes (CDOs). The medium without any supplementation was used in control group. In treatment groups the medium was supplemented in following combinations (i) 100 M H2O2 (ii) 100M H2O2 + 25 M 2-ME + 250 M AsA (iii) 100M H2O2 + 25 M 2-ME (iv) 100M H2O2 + 250 M AsA. In absence of H2O2 the degeneration at 24 hrs was lower. The combined additives reduced the degeneration of oocytes and increased the proportion of MII CDOs to similar levels to those achieved by CEO. Cumulus cells protect oocytes from oxidative stress. The supplementation of medium with 100M H2O2 + 25 M 2-ME + 250 M AsA, for the culture of denuded oocytes effectively counteracts the oxidative stress.
