Effect of sodium alginate on mouse ovary vitrification

The survival rate of vitrified-thawed ovarian tissues after autotransplantation still needs to be improved. Therefore finding an ideal cryoprectant to reduce the damage to ovaries that caused by vitrification will pave the way for application of ovary cryopreservation on clinics. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of sodium alginate in cryoprotectant solution on mouse ovaries during the vitrification process. The ovaries obtained from 6-weeks old CD1 were assigned into six groups from A to F.
