fertilization and embryo development of fresh and cryopreserved sibling oocytes

Fertilization and Embryo Development of Fresh and Cryopreserved Sibling Oocytes

Background The pattern of Islamic fasting differs from other forms of fasting, therefore its effect on health also differs. This research studies the effect of Islamic fasting on gonadotropin hormones around the time of the ovulatory cycle and ovulation. MaterialsAndMethods This self-controlled study was performed on 24 adult females. Blood sampling was performed during Ramadan and two months l...

Prolonged exposure to hyaluronidase decreases the fertilization and development rates of fresh and cryopreserved mouse oocytes

Hyaluronidase is generally used to remove cumulus cells from mouse oocytes before oocyte cryopreservation, intracytoplasmic sperm injection or DNA injection. In general, use of cumulus-free mouse oocytes decreases in vitro fertilizing ability compared with cumulus-surrounded oocytes. The effect of hyaluronidase exposure on the quality of mouse oocytes is not fully understood. Here, we investiga...

: the effect of sericin levels (silk glue protein) on rate of in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture of sheep oocytes

هدف از آزمایش اول بررسی اثر سطوح مختلف سریسین [0 (control), 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 %] افزوده شده به محیط , ivm بر cumulus cell expansion، بلوغ هسته و توسعه متوالی جنین، در گوسفندان نژاد سنجابی در فصل تولید مثلی می باشد. از سرگیری میوز به وسیله خارج شدن اولین پولار بادی اندازه گیری و هم چنین درصد رسیدن جنین های دو سلولی به مرحله کلیواژ و بلاستوسیت نیز به عنوان نشانه ای از میزان شایستگی توسعه اولیه ج...

Germinal vesicle transfer between fresh and cryopreserved immature mouse oocytes.

BACKGROUND We assessed the maturational competence and the chromosomal pattern of mouse oocytes reconstructed by germinal vesicle (GV) transfer technique using nuclear and/or cytoplasmic components from cryopreserved GV stage oocytes. METHODS From 657 GV oocytes (326 fresh and 331 frozen/thawed), four groups of reconstructed oocytes were obtained by micromanipulation and electrofusion: fresh ...

Embryo development of fresh ‘versus’ vitrified metaphase II oocytes after ICSI: a prospective randomized sibling-oocyte study

BACKGROUND A successful oocyte cryopreservation programme is of utmost importance where a limited number of oocytes can be inseminated per cycle, to overcome legal and ethical issues related to embryo storage, for oocyte donation programmes and for fertility preservation (especially for cancer patients). Vitrification has been recently proposed as an effective procedure for this purpose. METH...
