Mitochondria are energy provider organelles in eukaryotic cells that contain their own
specific genome. This review addresses structural and functional properties of mitochondria …

The mitochondria, present in almost all eukaryotic cells, produce energy but also contribute
to many other essential cellular functions. One of the unique characteristics of the …

The development of oocytes and early embryos is dependent on mitochondrial ATP
production. This reliance on mitochondrial activity, together with the exclusively maternal …

Oocyte quality is one of the most important factors involving in female reproduction. The
number of compromised oocytes will increase with maternal age, while mitochondrial …

The oocyte is recognised as the largest cell in mammalian species and other multicellular
organisms. Mitochondria represent a high proportion of the cytoplasm in oocytes and …

Mitochondria are powerhouse organelles involved in several vital functions in cells, mainly
maintaining balance between ATP synthesis and oxidative stress during early development …

Mitochondria produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) while also generating high amounts of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from oxygen metabolism. ROS are small but highly …

The oocyte is the largest cell found in multicellular organisms. Mitochondria, as the energy
factories for cells, are found in high numbers in oocytes, as they provide the energy for …
