Effect of cryoprotectant concentration on bovine oocyte permeability and comparison of two membrane permeability modelling approaches

Abstract The plasma membrane permeability to water and cryoprotectant (CPA) significantly impacts vitrification efficiency of bovine oocytes. Our study was designed to determine the concentration-dependent permeability characteristics for immature (GV) and mature (MII) bovine oocytes in the presence...

Our study was designed to determine the concentration-dependent permeability characteristics for immature (GV) and mature (MII) bovine oocytes in the presence of ethylene glycol (EG) and dimethyl sulphoxide (Me2SO), and to compare two different modeling approaches: the two parameter (2P) model and a nondilute transport model.
