The impact of cigarette smoking on zona pellucida thickness of oocytes and embryos prior to transfer into the uterine cavity

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Smoking has been reported to promote infertility. The zona pellucida plays an important role in fertilization and implantation. We report, for the first time, the effect of cigarette smoking on zona pellucida thickness of oocytes and embryos as one of the factors that may interfere with fertility.
