GASES AND ELECTROLYTES OF HUMAN FOLLICULAR FLUID

Summary.: Samples were obtained from ovarian tissue excised during the second quarter of the menstrual cycle. Sodium, potassium and chloride concentrations resembled those of blood, while pO₂ was highly variable, and not correlated with follicular histology. The pCO₂ was correlated with pH, but follicular fluid had a more acid pH than blood plasma. It is concluded that culture media based on 'physiological' saline solutions are appropriate for culture of oocytes.
