Fig. 1From: Effect of porcine immature oocyte vitrification on oocyte-cumulus cell gap junctional intercellular communicationEffect of vitrification on oocyte viability and in vitro maturation. a Percentage of oocyte viability at T 0 h (immediately after vitrification) and after 44 h of culture. Oocyte viability decreased after 44 h of culture in the toxicity and vitrification groups. b Percentage of oocytes in different developmental stages after 44 h of culture. Oocyte maturation (MII stage) decreased in toxicity and vitrification groups. GV = germinal vesicle; MI = metaphase I; MII = metaphase II. Bars show the mean ± SD. * Significant differences vs. control. ** Significant differences toxicity vs. vitrificationBack to article page
