[ 1 ] - O-26: Association of Follicular Fluid Endocrine Changes with Oocyte Morphology and Quality in PCOS Patients Undergoing Metformin and N-Acetylcysteine Treatment

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common cause of infertility often responsive to treatment with oral ovulation induction agents. PCOS patients are typically characterized by producing an increased number of oocytes that they are often of poor quality, leading to lower fertilization, cleavage and implantation rates. Recently data involve functional associations between endocrine...

[ 2 ] - P-37: The Effect of Extracellular Calcium Concentration on the In vitro Maturation of Mouse Oocytes after Mechanical Stimulation by Hydrostatic Pressure

Background: Oocyte maturation is usually defined as the period of progression from the first to the second meiotic arrest and involves coordinated nuclear and cytoplasmic modification. Ca2+ signals are known as important regulators of oocyte maturation. Extracellular Ca2+ is important for first polar body formation, normal meiosis kinetics, and for preserving the chromosome and spindle configur...
