Developmental competence and chromosomal aneuploidy of preimplantation embryos derived from rabbit oocytes grown in ovarian mesometrial grafts.

The quality of oocytes derived from rabbit ovarian grafts after cryopreservation and mesometrial autotransplantation was assessed according to the capacity to develop into offspring and the incidence of chromosome abnormalities of blastocyst embryos after fertilization. Ovarian cryopreservation and mesometrial transplantation do not affect the chromosome complement of blastocysts derived from oocytes grown in ovarian grafts, and oocytes retrieved from mesometrial grafts produce live offspring after fertilization.
