View clinical trials related to Granulosa Cells.
Filter by:Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage of granulosa cells obtained during oocyte retrieval will be evaluated by flow cytometry with detection of Histone H2A.X and Phosphorylated Gamma H2A.X protein levels in patients with low ovarian reserve and unexplained infertile patients as a control group undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. Fertilization, embryo quality, transfer rate, implantation, clinical pregnancy will be recorded as well as demographic data. DNA damage of granulosa cells will be compared between two groups. The effect of DNA damage of granulosa cells on fertilization, quality of oocyte and embryo, implantation, and clinical pregnancy will be also evaluated.
The researchers propose to investigate the causes, incidence, and time-related events of chromosomal and physiologic abnormalities as they relate to patient diagnosis, fertility drugs utilized, and in vitro laboratory culture conditions.
