Background: Oocyte quality is a key limiting factor in female fertility which is primarily reflected in morphological features. Centrally located cytoplasm granulation (CLCG) is one type of cytoplasmic dimorphism exhibited by oocytes that could be linked to pesticide exposure with a significant risk of decreased ICSI outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study included 633 women who were part of an intracytoplasmic spermatozoa injection (ICSI) program between 2009 and 2011. The participants lived in the Picardy region of France and had been exposed to pesticides. The participants were divided in two groups based on prevalence of oocytes with CLCG (LCLCG [n = 83]: low prevalence of oocytes with CLCG under 25%. HCLCG [n = 68]: high prevalence of CLCG over 75%). The embryological and clinical outcomes were analysed for both groups and were calculated using the difference between the two values.
Results: Results for couples with HCLCG compared to LCLCG showed a decrease in embryo cleavage, ongoing pregnancy, and live birth rates (82%, 14%, 13% vs 99%, 32%, 30%, respectively).The early miscarriage rate was increased (47% vs 11%), with an OR of 3.1 (95%CI [2.1-4.1]). Due to high pesticide exposure (over 3000 g/ha), there is a higher risk of a resulting disturbed oocyte cohort with a high prevalence of CLCG over 75%.
Conclusion: The high prevalence of oocytes with CLCG over 75% has a negative effect on embryos and the general ICSI clinical outcomes. Furthermore, a putative association between pesticide exposure and risk of CLCG was identified, justifying the need for further research and a potential need to find alternative assisted reproductive technologies for these couples.

Objective: To investigate the structural bases of human oocytes' cytoplasmic abnormalities and the causative mechanism of their emergence. Knowledge of an abnormal oocyte's intracellular organization is vital to establishing reliable criteria for clinical evaluation of oocyte morphology.
Design: Laboratory-based study on experimental material provided by a private assisted reproduction clinic.

To investigate whether oocyte centrally located cytoplasmic granulation (CLCG) affects embryonic development, blastocyst formation, and pregnancy outcomes in assisted reproductive technology, fifty patients with CLCG in all oocytes were selected as the CLCG group. Then, 150 patients with no abnormal oocyte morphology were randomly recruited as the control group. Both groups underwent laparoscopy, hysterosalpingography (HSG), vaginal ultrasound, and male semen examination.

To evaluate the relationship between the positions of cytoplasmic granulation and the oocytes developmental potential in human, we detected the developmental potentials of oocytes with centrally located cytoplasmic granulation (CLCG). The patients' age, body mass index (BMI), Infertility duration, follicle stimulation hormone (FSH) levels, average stimulate ovulation days, gonadotropin (GN) total dose, fertilization rate, cleavage rate, high quality embryo rate, embryo utilization rate and pregnancy rate were analyzed. The results showed that there were no significant difference on patients' age, BMI, infertility duration, FSH levels, average stimulate ovulation days, GN total dose, pregnancy rate and birth rate between CLCG group and control group in patients with BMI < 24 (P > 0.

Couples undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for male infertility using oocytes with centrally located granular cytoplasm (CLCG) were evaluated for fertilization, embryo development, implantation and pregnancy rate. CLCG is a rare morphological feature of the oocyte, that is diagnosed as a larger, dark, spongy granular area in the cytoplasm. Severity is based on both the diameter of granular area and the depth of the lesion.
