Table 1. Development of oocytes fertilized with rat epididymal or testicular sperm after freeze-drying.a .
Sperm collected from | Diamide treatment | No. of oocytes transferred | No. (%) of oocytes implantedb | No. (%) of offspringb |
Epididymis | − | 54 | 15 (28)a | 6 (11) |
Testis | − | 36 | 0 (0)b | 0 (0) |
Testis | + | 50 | 4 (8)b | 4 (8) |
Freeze-dried ampoules were stored for less than 1 month.
Percentages calculated from the number of oocytes transferred.
Within columns, percentages with different letters were significantly different (P<0.05) by analysis of χ2 tests with Yates correction for continuity.
