This short review provides basic knowledge on mitochondrial inheritance, its disorders, and
potential ways to overcome them in human reproductive medicine. The latter are currently …

The mitochondrion undergoes significant functional and structural changes, as well as an
increase in number, during preimplantation embryonic development. The mitochondrion …

Mitochondria are the largest generator of ATP in the cell. It is therefore expected that energy‐
requiring processes such as oocyte maturation, early embryonic or fetal development, would …

Mitochondria, known as the energy factories in all cells, are key regulators of multiple vital
cellular processes and affect all aspects of mammalian reproduction, being essential for …

Mitochondria play an essential role in generating energy for embryo development and
maintaining embryo metabolism through key cellular functions including ion homeostasis …

Mitochondria have long been known to be the powerhouses of the cell but they also
contribute to redox and Ca 2+ homeostasis, provide intermediary metabolites and store …

Background Female fertility declines with age, due to increased chromosomal aneuploidy
and possible reduced mitochondrial function in the embryo. Methods This review outlines …

Mitochondria are cellular organelles regulating metabolism and cell death pathways. This
study examined changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) throughout the stages …

In reproduction, mitochondria produce bioenergy, help to synthesize biomolecules, and
support the ovaries, oogenesis, and preimplantation embryos, thereby facilitating healthy …

Mitochondria are the most abundant organelles in the mammalian oocyte and early embryo.
While their role in ATP production has long been known, only recently has their contribution …
