---|---|---|
0 h (Control) | 226 | 34 (15.1 ± 1.9)a |
2.5 h | 218 | 34 (15.5 ± 2.2)a |

All experiments were repeated five times. Percentage data are expressed as means ± SEM
*ZP-free zygotes were collected at 10 h from the start of IVF and exposed to Lipofectamine 2000 for 0 h (Control), 2.5 h, 5 h, 10 h, or 20 h and then cultured for 7 days
a,b Values with different superscript letters in the same column are significantly different (p < 0.05)
