Relationships between antral follicle counts (AFC) and oocyte growth and maturation. Lines on the boxes in the box-and-whisker plot delineate the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles, while the whiskers depict the 10th and 90th percentiles. Values above boxes in the box-and-whisker plot indicate the mean diameters (μm) of oocytes. Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of oocytes submitted to IVM (Table 1) derived from 193 OCGCs in the low AFC group and 225 in the high AFC group. a, b Different letters indicate significant differences between before and after IVG (P < 0.05). * An asterisk indicates a significant difference between the low and high AFC groups on the same day (P < 0.05).
