Developmental profiles of control and H2O2-treated embryos. Based on the chi-square test, no statistical differences were observed in the rates of 2-cell formation, 4-cell formation, or 8-cell formation between the control and treated groups (). However, treatment with 0.03 mM H2O2 produced a significant decrease in the rate of blastocyst formation (). .
