Table 4 In vitro fertilization parameters of fresh and vitrified oocytes

From: An efficiency comparison of different in vitro fertilization methods: IVF, ICSI, and PICSI for embryo development to the blastocyst stage from vitrified porcine immature oocytes

DO-GC Denuded oocytes cultured with granulosa cells, PBs polar bodies, PN pronucleus,
Total Fertilization = counted as 2PN + >2PN/total oocytes
Non-fertilized = non pronuclear formation/total oocytes
Percentage data are presented as mean ± SD values
^a,b,cValues in the same column with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05)
