Factor 6 had the greatest number of significant correlations, including negative associations with visceral adipose tissue, waist circumference, body weight, BMI, fat mass, android fat, subcutaneous adipose tissue, dietary sodium, carbohydrate, fat, energy intake (kcal), and sugar (Spearman rho 0.220, p .adj 0.075) and captured the variation associated with IF-P (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, p .adj = 0.007)
IVM medium applied in this study was TCM-199 medium supplemented with 0.3 mM sodium pyruvate, 1 g/ml -2-oestradiol, 2 mM Gluta MAX , 10 ng/ml EGF, 10% fetal bovine serum, 10 U/ml FSH, 10 U/ml LH and 100 M cysteamine (6769)
