Immature oocyte cryopreservation is a therapeutic option in assisted reproductive technology.
To evaluate the effects of supplementing oocyte maturation medium with human follicular fluid (hFF), zinc and copper.
Four different maturation media supplemented with 10% follicular fluid, 4 μg/mL copper and 1 μg/mL zinc were used for vitrified-warmed oocytes of mouse.
Maturation rate was the highest (63.3%) in the presence of zinc. Cleavage and blastocyst rates in groups with copper and zinc were significantly higher than the control group (39.9% and 46.4% vs. 28.8%), without any significant difference between Zn and Cu.
Our findings indicate the high importance of using hFF as a natural medium, and also zinc and copper as two efficient trace elements in the maturation medium for vitrified-warmed oocytes.
未成熟卵母细胞冷冻保存是辅助生殖技术中的一种治疗选择。
评估在卵母细胞成熟培养基中添加人卵泡液(hFF)、锌和铜对其的影响。
使用四种不同的成熟培养基,分别添加 10%卵泡液、4μg/mL 铜和 1μg/mL 锌,用于玻璃化冷冻-解冻的小鼠卵母细胞。
锌存在时成熟率最高(63.3%)。添加铜和锌的组的卵裂和囊胚形成率明显高于对照组(39.9%和 46.4%比 28.8%),但锌和铜之间没有显著差异。
我们的研究结果表明,使用 hFF 作为天然培养基,以及锌和铜作为成熟培养基中的两种有效微量元素,对玻璃化冷冻-解冻的卵母细胞非常重要。
