Previous studies suggest that the inclusion of melatonin (MTn) in in vitro maturation
protocols improves the developmental competence of oocytes by scavenging reactive …

Lipid is a crucial energy resource for mammalian oocyte. Melatonin could benefit the
maturation of porcine oocyte in vitro, but the related mechanism is not elucidated yet. In the …

It is being increasingly recognized that the processes of lipogenesis and lipolysis are
important for providing an essential energy source during oocyte maturation and embryo …

Melatonin, the major pineal secretory product, has a significant impact on the female
reproductive system. Recently, the beneficial effects of melatonin on mammalian oocyte …

Melatonin is a well‐characterized antioxidant that has been successfully used to protect
oocytes from reactive oxygen species during in vitro maturation (IVM), resulting in improved …

Melatonin is a multifunctional molecule that mediates several circadian and seasonal
reproductive processes. The exact role of melatonin in modulating reproduction, however, is …

Poor‐quality oocytes (those with 1–2 layers of cumulus cells) typically possess low meiotic
competence and development. Prolonging the duration of in vitro maturation (IVM; 52 hr) …

Melatonin is a multifunctional molecule that mediates several circadian and seasonal
processes in animal reproduction. Melatonin and its metabolites are antioxidants and free …

The preservation of ovaries beyond 7 h dramatically decreases the developmental potential
of oocytes to reach the blastocyst stage during in vitro embryo production. Here we …

In mammalian ovaries, oocytes are physically coupled to somatic granulosa cells, and this
coupling is crucial for the growth and development of competent oocytes as it mediates the …
