Objective: To evaluate the safety of applying follicular-fluid meiosis-activating sterol (FF-MAS) in vitro to immature human oocytes.
Design: Phase I bicenter, randomized, parallel-group, controlled, partially blinded trial.
Setting: Third-level referral academic centers, including reproductive biology and genetics laboratories.
Objective: To quantify aneuploidy in inseminated, injected, and noninjected oocytes from infertility patients using Multifluor fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH).
Design: Prospective study.
Setting: Reproductive biology group, academic unit of pediatrics, obstetrics, and gynecology.
