The Effect of Cryoprotectants on the Survival and In Vitro-Growth of Cryopreserved Mouse Preantral Follicles

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this study was to examine more effective cryoprotectant for the cryopreservation of mouse preantral follicles. Enzymetically isolated preantral follicles from 12-day-old mice were cryopreserved by a slow freezing protocol with 1.5 M propanediol (PROH), dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) or glycerol (GLY) and then grown and matured in vitro for 11 days after thawing. The survival of preantral follicles immediately after freezing and thawing was not different among the PROH (68.2%), DMSO (72.4%) and GLY (72.1%). After grown and matured in vitro, the rates of survival and metaphase II oocytes were 54.9% and 36.6% for PROH which was significantly higher rates (p<0.05) compared with the rates obtained from DMSO (16.9% and 9.0%) and GLY (16.3% and 7.5%). The diameter of metaphase II oocytes from preantral follicles frozen in PROH (67.4±1.8 μm) was significantly (p<0.05) smaller than that of the fresh preantral follicles (69.1±2.3 μm). The results from the present study revealed that PROH is more suitable cryoprotectant for the cryopreservation of mouse preantral follicles.
