Abstract

This study was original in that it was the first not to pool follicular fluid samples prior to analysis of contents. This allowed much more powerful associations to be drawn between follicular fluid analyte, oocyte development and the ability of the oocyte to be fertilized.

Keywordsinhibin A; inhibin B; activin A; follicular size; oocyte presence; fertilization
