OBJECTIVE: To clarify the relationship between oocyte maturation and mitochondria
distribution and assess the effects of in vitro maturation (IVM) on the distribution of …

Optimal energy production is required for oocyte and embryo development, and
mitochondrial abnormalities have devastating reproductive consequences. Improvement of …

In this study, we evaluated mitochondrial distribution and ATP content of individual bovine
oocytes before and after in vitro maturation (IVM). Cumulus-oocyte complexes were …

Contents Bovine oocytes and embryos produced in vitro were studied to determine the
mitochondrial pattern of distribution, segregation and activity using DIOC 6 and Jc‐1 …

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

Mitochondria play a primary role in cellular energetic metabolism, homeostasis, and death.
They possess their own multicopy genome, which is maternally transmitted. Mitochondria …

Background In human oocytes, as in other mammalian ova, there is a significant variation in
the pregnancy potential, with approximately 20% of oocyte-sperm meetings resulting in …

Mitochondria provide the primary source of ATP in the oocyte and early embryo and
mitochondrial dysfunction and deficit of mitochondria‐derived ATP has been linked to …

Purpose The oxygen consumption rates (OCRs) in mice and cattle have been reported to
change during preimplantation embryogenesis. On the other hand, mitochondrial DNA …

Mitochondria have been implicated as key factors regulating female reproductive processes.
Notable progress has been made in determining the role of mitochondria with respect to …
