Optimal Timing for Oocyte Denudation and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

Figure 2

Influence of the timing between oocyte retrieval and denudation (white box) and the timing between oocyte denudation and ICSI injection (black box) on the fertilization rate. The relation between (fertilization) ( ), the probability of the oocytes to be fertilized) and the time between oocyte retrieval and denudation ( ) was statistically significant with a value <0.0001 related to ( )2. ( )2. The relation between (fertilization) ( ( ), the probability of the oocytes to be fertilized) and the time between denudation and microinjection ( ) was statistically significant and linear with a 0.0083 value related to , following the equation = ( )2 and with a 0.005 value related to ( )2.
