Four replications were performed. Data are presented as mean ± SEM values. * After vitrification, IVM and IVF, only surviving oocytes were subjected to subsequent culture. a, b, c Percentages with different letters in the same column differ significantly (P < 0.05). $ Tendentious difference compared with the other groups (P = 0.06–0.08).
