Table I.

Characteristics of rhesus macaque follicles at Week 13 for primary and Week 5 for secondary follicles in culture

Follicle culture	Total yield (n)	Percentage of follicles cultured		Percentage of follicles survived
Follicle culture	Total yield (n)	Degenerated	Survived	No grow	Growing
Primary follicle
Alginate	48	63 ± 9^a	37 ± 9^a	72 ± 4^a		28 ± 4^a
FIBRIN	57	62 ± 14^a	38 ± 14^a	64 ± 3^b		36 ± 3^b
Secondary follicle					Slow grow	Fast grow
Alginate	45	47 ± 11^a,b	53 ± 11^a,b	40 ± 14^c	34 ± 14^a	26 ± 7^b
FIBRIN	88	28 ± 10^b	72 ± 10^b	72 ± 12^a	17 ± 8^a	11 ± 7^c

FIBRIN: alginate plus fibrin.

No-grow: surviving follicles which remained at the pre-antral stage throughout the culture were termed ‘no-grow’.

^a,b,cDifferent letters indicate significant differences within the column (P < 0.05).

*Values are mean ± SEM of percentage of follicles.
