Total two treatments were designed： two-time centrifugation （C）, and one-time centrifugation and swim-up method （CS）. The results showed that the cleavage rate in the C treatment group was （75.6±4.5）%, which showed no difference compared with that （（76.4±1.9）%） in the CS treatment group （P〉0.05）; there was also no significant dif- ference in blastocyst rate between the two treatment groups （（35.7±4.1）% vs. （36.3± 2.7）%, P〉0.05）. However, the CS treatment significantly saved the capacitation time in vitro.展开更多
