Histologic and ultrastructural features of cryopreserved ovine ovarian tissue: deleterious effect of 1,2-propanediol applying different thawing protocols.
Ovarian cortical fragments were frozen in presence of 1.5 M PROH, thawed at different temperatures (37 degrees, 30 degrees, or 4 degrees C) and submitted to histologic and ultrastructural analysis. Thawing at 30 degrees C minimized stromal and follicular damage when compared with 4 degrees and 37 degrees C.
