To examine the individual and combined impacts of cigarette smoking and advancing maternal age on the maturation capacity of human oocytes.
Assessed human oocytes for meiotic maturation status in relation to donor chronological age and history of cigarette smoking.
Tracked in-vitro nuclear maturation progression from immature stages to the metaphase II stage.
Advancing age associates with lower rates of successful meiotic progression and reduced developmental competence in human oocytes.
Cigarette smoke exposure correlates with increased meiotic arrest, compounding the age-related decline in oocyte maturation.
