The morphology of follicles after ovarian tissue vitrification

The morphology of follicles after ovarian tissue vitrification: A) non vitrified, B) slow freezing and C) vitrification. No significant differences were observed between the normality of primordial and primary follicles in all groups of study. But slow freezing groups showed more sign of degeneration and cryoinjury in preantral follicles and the disruption of intercellular contacts among innermost granulosa layer and oocyte, nuclear piknosis and cytoplasmic retraction were prominent ^[1] .
