Aromatase activity in granulosa cells as a predictor of pregnancy potential
Abstract
The ability to predict the potential of an oocyte to sustain embryo development in vitro would be an advantageous tool for reproductive technology. Currently, the only measure of oocyte quality is based on cumulus expansion or nuclear maturation. Neither of these observations predicts the degree of cytoplasmic maturation, which is critical for normal embryo development. The unique cell-to-cell interaction between the oocyte and surrounding …
