Confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis of bioenergetic potential and oxidative stress in fresh and frozen-thawed human ovarian tissue from oncologic patients

Bioenergy/oxidative functional damage was found in tissue with severe LM/TEM-assessed damage. In tissue with slight LM/TEM-assessed damage, the CLSM-based bioenergy/oxidative stress assessment was the only test that allowed discrimination between tissue that had been better (low/no difference) or worse preserved (significant differences).
