Zearalenone (ZEA) is an estrogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium fungi commonly found
in corn, wheat, and other cereals which can infect food and feed commodities, and ZEA …

α‐Ketoglutarate (α‐KG) is a metabolite in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It has a strong
antioxidant function and can effectively prevent oxidative damage. Previous studies have …

Simple Summary The residue of chemicals can affect the maturation of livestock oocytes,
thereby affecting the quality of embryos. Research has shown that imidacloprid, a systemic …

Purpose The decline in female fecundity with age may be caused by decreased oocyte
quality, a factor that may be associated with the altered composition of follicular fluid (FF) …

Aging processes accelerate dramatically in oocytes that have reached the metaphase-II (M-
II) stage. The present work aimed to study the patterns and intracellular pathways of actions …

Ferulic acid (FA) is a well-known natural antioxidant that scavenges oxygen free radicals
and alleviates oxidative stress. This study investigated the chemopreventive potential of FA …

Objective This study examined the in vitro effect of melatonin on the protein synthesis of
mitochondria, as well as autophagy in matured oocytes of aged mice. Materials and …

L-carnitine (LC) is well known for its antioxidant activity. In this study, we explored the
potential mechanistic effects of LC supplementation on aged bovine oocytes in vitro. We …

Prolonged culture of metaphase II oocytes is an in vitro aging process that compromises
oocyte quality. We tested whether melatonin preserves epigenetic modifications in oocytes …

Postovulatory aging of the mammalian oocytes causes deterioration of oocytes through
several factors including oxidative stress. Keeping that in mind, we aimed to investigate the …
