Previous studies have reported many discrepancies about the best type and concentration of cryoprotective agents (CPAs) and biological variability among various pre-antral follicle classes after cryopreservation of ovarian tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of some synthetic polymers on histological characteristics of different types of pre-antral follicles after bovine ovarian tissue vitrification. From each bovine ovarian pair, fragments were recovered and immediately fixed for analysis (fresh control group) or submitted to vitrification (sucrose, X-1000, Z-1000 and polyvinylpyrrolidone groups), either followed by culture for 1 or 5 days. In this case, although, the addition of X-1000 resulted in greater percentages of normal follicles for almost all pre-antral follicle classes compared to those of other groups, there are some exceptions. These results indicate that the inclusion of polyvinylpyrrolidone in the freezing media can improve the morphology of the post-warmed transitional follicles and cultured primordial follicles on day five more than other CPAs. According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that although ovarian tissue cryopreservation is often performed to preserve the primordial follicles, by choosing the best combination of permeating and non-permeating CPAs (synthetic polymers), more advanced stages of bovine pre-antral follicles, transitional, primary and secondary follicles, may also survive the cryopreservation process.

Cryopreservation and re-transplantation of ovarian tissue is a relatively new technique to preserve fertility. This study evaluated the preservation of ovarian follicles after the vitrification-thawing procedure by implanting ovarian fragments into the gluteus muscle of rabbit. Bilateral ovariectomy was performed on each rabbit.

One of the common side effects of chemotherapy drugs is ovarian failure and uterine dysfunction, which can occur after the administration of doxorubicin and/or cyclophosphamide. In clinics, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) are used to modulate the toxic effect of chemotherapy and intercept infertility with some controversy and limited histological knowledge. This study aimed to evaluate the serological and histological features of protective effects of triptorelin, (GnRHa), on utero-ovarian tissue in the mice treated with cyclophosphamide and/or doxorubicin.

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) means menopause before 40 years of age affecting about 1 % of women. Approaches based on cell therapy and the paracrine effects of stem cells or bioproducts such as platelet-rich plasma have been proposed, but concerns remain about undesired systemic effects, as well as the need to optimize delivery methods through bioengineering methods. This study explores the efficacy of decellularized bovine ovarian cortex extracellular matrix (OvaECM) hydrogels alone and as a growth factor (GF) carrier (OvaECM+GF) in a chemotherapy-induced POI murine model.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of adding alpha lipoic acid (ALA) to the in vitro ovarian tissue culture medium, either fresh or after vitrification/warming. For this purpose, 10 ovaries from five adult sheep were used. Each pair of ovaries gave rise to 16 fragments and were randomly distributed into two groups: fresh (n = 8) and vitrified (n = 8).

Topiramate (TPM) is an antiepileptic drug used for treating epilepsy in children, and migraine in teenagers. In this context, preclinical studies with adult female rats observed reproductive system abnormalities following treatment with TPM. Additionally, exposure to endocrine disruptors during developmental plasticity periods, such as childhood and adolescence, may influence characteristics in the adult individual.
