Cleavage Pattern of Embryos and Oxidative Parameters

Is Abnormal Cleavage Pattern of Embryos Associated With Different Oxidative Parameters Compared With That of Normally Cleaving Embryos? A Prospective Cohort Study

To investigate prospectively whether embryos with abnormal cleaving pattern have different oxidative parameters from normally cleaving embryos, and to analyze whether these parameters have an association with demographic, laboratory and clinical parameters including treatment outcome.
