| dc.description.abstract | Ovary of the mammals contains high numbers of preantral follicles. These
follicles are suitable for in vitro culture, can be cryopreserved, and provides a large
repository of oocytes. Following in vitro maturation, these oocytes can be fertilized.
The procedure makes the opportunity to preserve fertility in animals with unique
genetics or in women before anti-cancer treatment. However, in vitro culture
protocols are not standardized, and the basal media and supplements, and
preservation methods, differ among laboratories and species as well. Our study
aimed to analyze the characteristics of in vitro growth of canine follicles. | en_US |
