Table 2. The comparison of ovulation quantity and oocyte morphology of the 3 groups.

Results Control CSE Menadione
Ovulation Quantitya (/mouse mean±SE) 12.00±2.05 21.86±3.70 17.43±4.31
Oocyte Morphology ZP thicknessa (µm mean±SE) 7.59±0.07* 7.43±0.05 7.31±0.06
ZP-free ODa (µm mean±SE) 76.56±0.12# 76.10±0.13 76.41±0.12
PVSb (µm median) 9.1328* 9.2818* 10.0474
ODc (µm median) 100.7656 100.6098 101.1314
ARS-PB rate (%) 15.19%# 6.62% 7.62%
SSR-PB rate (%) 7.59%# 24.26%* 13.33%
Immature oocyte rate (%) 3.57% 3.27%* 9.84%
The rate of broken PB (%) 2.47% 8.11% 4.55%

ZP: zona pellucida. PVS: perivitelline space. OD: oocyte diameter. ARS-PB: the first polar body with appropriate size, round shape and smooth surface. SSR-PB: the first polar body with small size, strip-like shape and rough surface. CSE: cigarette smoke extract.

a

The data was normally distributed (P>0.05, Shapiro-Wilk), with equal variances (P>0.05, ANOVA).

b

The data from at least one group was not normally distributed (P<0.05, Shapiro-Wilk test).

c

The data was not normally distributed (P<0.05, Shapiro-Wilk test).
