Vitrification of in vitro matured oocytes: effects on meiotic spindle configuration and mitochondrial function.

CONCLUSION: In vitro maturation (IVM) has an adverse effect on the organization of spindle and chromosome, and no significantly effect on spindle and chromosome was discovered after vitrification-thaw cycle, while there was obvious damage of oocyte mitochondrial function of in vitro-matured oocyte detected after warming, which may be the reason of the low following developmental potential.
