Table 3. Comparison of diameter (µm) of encapsulated preantral follicles between the vitrification group and fresh group before and after in vitro culture.

Group	No. of follicles	Before culture		After 7 days of in vitro culture
Group	No. of follicles	Diameter of follicle	Diameter of oocyte	Diameter of follicle	Diameter of oocyte
VG	36	96.5 ± 8.3^a	66.3 ± 1.5^b	123.1 ± 10.5*^,c	94.7 ± 1.6*^,d
FG	42	93.2 ± 9.5^e	69.7 ± 1.8^f	131.5 ± 12.3*^,g	96.2 ± 12.3*^,h

VG, vitrification group after 7 days in vitro culture; FG, fresh group after 7 days in vitro culture. * Significantly higher than their initial size (P<0.05) respectively in VG and FG after 7 days of in vitro culture. There were no significant differences between the VG^a,b and FG^e,f groups before culture (P>0.05). There were also no significant differences between the VG^c,d and FG^g,
h groups after in vitro culture for 7 days (P>0.05).
