چکیده
objective: improvements in cancer treatment have allowed more young women to survive. however, many cancer patients suffer from ovarian failure. cryopreservation is one of the solutions for fertility restoration in these patients. the cryopreservation of isolated follicles is a more attractive approach in the long term. many endocrine and paracrine factors can stimulate the granulosa cells of preantral follicles to proliferate. melatonin acts as direct free radical scavenger and indirect antioxidant. in this study, we investigated the direct effects of melatonin on follicle development and oocyte maturation by exposing in vitro cultured mouse vitrified-warmed ovarian follicles to melatonin. materials and methods: in an experimental study, preantral follicles with diameter of 150-180 μm were isolated from prepubertal mouse ovaries. follicles were vitrified and thawed using cryolock method. they were then cultured individually for 7 days in droplets supplemented with 0, 10 and 100 pm melatonin, while ovulation was induced using epidermal growth factor (egf) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg). the survival rate of follicles and nuclear maturation of ovulated oocytes were determined. results: at the end of culture, significant increases in follicle survival (p<0.001) and in diameter (p<0.05) were noticed in 10 pm melatonin group compared to control group. in the 100 pm group, survival rate was not affected by melatonin. it was revealed that after induction of ovulation, total number of metaphase ii oocytes in treatment groups were not influenced by melatonin (p>0.05). conclusion: culture of mouse vitrified-warmed preantral follicles in a medium supplemented with 10 pm melatonin increased the number of surviving follicles.

متن کاملMelatonin Impact on In Vitro Development of Mouse Preantral Follicles and Oocyte Maturation
Introduction: Melatonin acts as an indirect antioxidant and is a powerful direct free radical scavenger and direct responses to melatonin in the gonads are detected. This study aims to investigate the influence of different doses of melatonin on preantral follicle development and oogenesis of in vitro cultured mouse ovarian follicles. Materials and Methods: Preantral follicles with diamet...

Background This research was conducted to assess preantral follicle development in fibrin alginate matrix following ovarian tissue vitrification MaterialsAndMethods Ovaries of 13-day-old NMRI female mice were removed and placed in control and vitrification groups. Vitrification group ovaries were transferred in media containing ethylene glycol, dimethyl sulphoxide, and sucrose then were plunged...
متن کاملInhibin A and B secretion in mouse preantral follicle culture.
Conditioned media from single mouse ovarian follicles cultured from the early preantral stage up to complete maturity were analysed for different immunoreactive inhibin forms. The inhibin assays measured (i) alpha-specific inhibin, as represented by a mix of 32 and and 57 kDa inhibins, inhibin precursors, alpha-subunit and its precursors; (ii) dimeric inhibin A; and (iii) dimeric inhibin B. The...
متن کاملP-107: Vitrification and In Vitro Culture of Mouse Preantral Follicles in Presence of Growth Factors
Background: Cryopreservation of oocytes is an effective technology in assisted reproductive technology. Although successful vitrification of gametes has been reported in several mammalian species, the survival is generally low. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on preantral follicle development after vitrifi...
