Скачать или смотреть Does the speed of egg development in the ovary affect its quality? Nicholas Anderson

In the ovary, eggs mature inside ovarian follicles. As the egg develops, the fastest-growing follicle in the ovary will become dominant and ovulate. Good eggs are important for a successful pregnancy and for IVF success rates. Naturally, ovulated eggs usually are the best quality and have the highest chance of resulting in pregnancy. It has been suggested that the fastest-growing follicles contain good-quality eggs. This research examined whether we can predict the quality of eggs based on how quickly the follicles grew in culture. No relationship was found between growth speed and egg quality. This suggests that other factors in the ovary are at play in determining and selecting good eggs. Further research in this area is important for improving the success of IVF and assisting those experiencing infertility.
