Immunohistochemical localization of growth factors after cryopreservation and 3 weeks' xenotransplantation of human ovarian tissue Anu David, M.Sc., Marie-Madeleine Dolmans, M.D., Ph.D., Anne Van Langendonckt, Ph.D., Jacques Donnez, M.D., Ph.D., Christiani Andrade Amorim, V.M.D., Ph.D. Fertility and Sterility Volume 95, Issue 4, Pages (March 2011) DOI: /j.fertnstert Copyright © 2011 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Follicular proportion expressed as a percentage before and after grafting of human ovarian tissue. Although the proportion of growing follicles statistically significantly increased after xenografting, there was no statistically significant difference with respect to primordial and growing follicles between fresh and frozen-thawed grafts. Primordial follicles, fresh vs. fresh graft: P<.05; frozen vs. frozen graft: P<.01. Growing follicles, fresh vs. fresh graft: P<.05; frozen vs. frozen graft: P<.01.
