Background:
Ovarian cryopreservation has emerged as an important method of fertility preservation. Magnetic field enhanced cryopreservation has been considered in recent times as a promising type of ovarian cryopreservation but the effectiveness of the process is still not clear.
Objective:
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of applying 1-mT SMF (static magnetic field) on the vitrification of ovarian tissue and the follow-up investigation of the morphology and functions of vitrified- warmed ovarian tissue after transplantation.
Materials And Methods:
Ovaries of 6-8 week-old female mice from the Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) were exposed of the static magnetic field during different steps of the vitrification process. Immunohistological studies were performed on the ovaries.
Results:
The mean percentage of damaged primordial follicles was lowest in control group and the group with ovaries exposed to magnetic field during the equilibration step. The latter group also had the highest percentage of intact primordial follicles after transplantation.
Conclusion:
Exposure of mice ovaries to static magnetic field during first step of vitrification process (the equilibration step) resulted in greater resistance against injury.
