THE EXPRESSION PATTERN OF PROSTAGLANDIN-ENDOPEROXIDE SYNTHASE-2 IN IMMATURE OOCYTES AND SURROUNDING CUMULUS CELLS MAY EXPLAIN A DISRUPTED OOCYTE MATURATION PROCESS

The Expression Pattern of Prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase-2 in Immature Oocytes and Surrounding Cumulus Cells May Explain A Disrupted Oocyte Maturation Process

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the gene expression of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase-2 in the cumulus-oocyte complex with the level of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase-2 in follicular fluid and follicle diameter, oocyte maturation, and fertilization capacity.Study Design: As the study group, 26 cumulus-oocyte complexes and 2
