Effect of GSH supplementation on the development of blastocysts.
Groups | No. of Two-Cell Embryos (%) |
No. of Eight-Cell Embryos (%) |
No. of Blastocysts (%) |
---|---|---|---|
n | (n ± SD) | (n ± SD) | |
Group 1 | 76 (100%) | 21.00 ± 3.49 (83%) | 17.67 ± 3.06 (69%) a |
Group 2 | 60 (100%) | 15.00 ± 2.86 (75%) | 12.67 ± 1.89 (63%) a |
Group 3 | 111 (100%) | 31.67± 5.14 (86%) | 29.67 ± 0.62 (80%) b |
Group 4 | 90 (100%) | 26.67± 2.78 (89%) | 24.33 ± 1.43 (81%) c |
Each categorical variable is described as a percentage, with between-group differences tested by chi-squared test (p < 0.05). Different superscripts within the same column (no. of blastocysts) represent significant differences (p < 0.05).
