NTE	6.615 ± 1.020^b	4.262 ± 0.686^bd	3.246 ± 0.836^d	0.008
NUO	1.518 ± 0.826^b	3.445 ± 0.555^c	2.479 ± 0.677^bc	0.046

^aThe number of samples is shown in parentheses. All data in the table are least square means ± SE. Different superscript letters (b-d) in the same row indicate significant differences (P < 0.05). TNO: total number of ova; NTE: number of transferable embryos; NUO: number of unfertilized ova; NDE: number of degenerate embryos.
