Meiotic spindle imaging in human oocytes frozen with a slow freezing procedure involving high sucrose concentration
11 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: One of the major concerns derived from the cryopreservation of meiotically mature oocytes is possible damage to the cytoskeletal apparatus, and in particular the meiotic spindle. METHODS: One hundred fresh oocytes showing the polar body I and high meiotic spindle birefringence (maximum retardance+/-1.5 mol/l SD = 2.58+/-0.1 nm), assessed through analysis, were included in this study. Oocytes were...
