[ 1 ] - P-46: Effects of Different Doses of Ethanol on Sperm Parameters, ChromatinStructure and Apoptosis in Adult Mice

Background: Chronic ethanol abuse causes reproductive organ failure and infertility in both humans and laboratory animals. Since sperm has a critical role in reproductive function, the objective of this unique study was to evaluate the effects of different doses of ethanol on sperm parameters, chromatin structure and apoptosis in adult mice. Materials and Methods: A total of 36 adult male mice ...

[ 2 ] - P-130: Efficacy of Commercial In Vitro Maturation Medium Is Similar to Home-made Medium for In Vitro Maturation of Human Oocytes

Background: In vitro maturation (IVM) of immature oocyte is a promising treatment option for infertile women.IVM procedures attempt to mimic the natural conditions of the follicular environment. The technique of IVM of oocytes has been successful after the first trial using culture of human oocytes in follicular fluid. The crucial part of this technique is the maturation process itself, and the...

[ 3 ] - O-11: Zona Pellucida Birefringence and Meiotic Spindle Visualization of Human Oocytes Are Not Influenced by In Vitro Maturation Technology

Background: In vitro maturation (IVM) is a promising treatment option for certain infertile women. Nowadays, with the aid of the Polscope, it has become possible to evaluate zona pellucida (ZP) and spindle as parameters of oocyte quality. The goal was to investigate the relationship between the presence of the meiotic spindle and ZP birefringence with morphology of the in vivo and in vitro matu...

[ 4 ] - P-120: Meiotic Spindle Visualization and Zona Pellucida Birefringence in Relation to Morphology of In Vivo and In Vitro Matured Human Oocytes of In Vivo and In Vitro Matured Human Oocytesof In Vivo and In Vitro Matured Human Oocytes

Background: The meiotic spindle plays an important role in the oocyte during chromosome alignment and separation at meiosis. The zona pellucid (ZP) is a dynamic matrix composed of filaments with the properties that might reflect the history of oocyte cytoplasmic maturation. Since, spindle and ZP in living oocytes are highly birefringent, their structures can be viewed noninvasively by using a P...
