Statistics	ANOVA with a Tukey's multiple comparisons test				Paired t test 0 h vs 96 h

Follicles of all sizes were significantly larger at 96 hours than they were at the start of culture, with or without FSH, but growth was more sustained in the presence of FSH.

Abbreviation: NS, not significant.
