Effect of LC treatment during IVM on nuclear maturation of BCB+ oocytes

Groups	No. of COCs	MI n (%)	MII n (%)
Control	243	59 (24.3 ± 1.9)	138 (56.8 ± 2.8) a
0.3 mg/ml LC	285	56 (19.6 ± 2.1)	216 (75.8 ± 2) b
0.6 mg/ml LC	289	60 (20.1 ± 1.7)	229 (76.8 ± 2) b

Values represent mean±SEM of four experiments. LC: L-carnitine

Different superscript letters (a and b) within a column demonstrate a significant difference (p<0.01).

COC: cumulus-oocyte complex

MI: metaphase I oocyte

MII: metaphase II oocyte
