Mitochondria of spermatozoa are different from the corresponding organelles of somatic
cells, in both their morphology and biochemistry. The biochemical differences are essentially …

Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles and their distribution, structure and activity
affect a wide range of cellular functions. Mitochondrial membrane potential (∆ Ψm) is an …

Purpose To establish the phenotype of reproductive aging in our mouse model. To test the
hypotheses that reproductive aging is associated with a decrease in mitochondrial …

At fertilisation, Ca2+ signals activate embryonic development by stimulating metabolism,
exocytosis and endocytosis, cytoskeletal remodelling, meiotic resumption and recruitment of …

Differentiating cells tailor their metabolism to fulfill their specialized functions. We examined
whether mitochondrial fusion is important for metabolic tailoring during spermatogenesis …

Oocyte mitochondrial dysfunction has been proposed as a cause of high levels of
developmental retardation and arrest that occur in human preimplantation embryos …

Mitochondria affect numerous aspects of mammalian reproduction. We investigated whether
the decrease in oocyte quality associated with aging is related to altered mitochondria …

The aim of this study has been to observe, by electron microscopy, the morphological
changes affecting mitochondria and associated organelles in the human female germ cell …

Mitochondria are double‐membrane‐bound organelles that are responsible for the
generation of most of the cell's energy. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in …

This review examines current understanding of mammalian mitochondria and mitochondrial
DNA in the light of new reproductive technologies. Mitochondria are central to ageing …
