Metabolism and ATP levels within the oocyte and adjacent cumulus cells are associated
with quality of oocyte and optimal development of a healthy embryo. Lipid metabolism …

In Westernized societies, average consumption of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)
far exceeds nutritional requirements. The ratio of n-6 to n-3 PUFAs is generally> 10: 1 …

Oocyte and embryo metabolism are closely linked with their subsequent developmental
capacity. Lipids are a potent source of cellular energy, yet little is known about lipid …

Mammalian oocytes and early cleavage-stage embryos are critically dependent on their~
100,000 mitochondria to develop from ovulation to compacted morula stage. They rely …

Contents While much is known about the metabolism of exogenous nutrients such as
glucose, lactate, pyruvate, amino acids by oocytes and pre‐implantation mammalian …

Mobilization of fatty acids from adipose tissue during metabolic stress will increase the
amount of free fatty acids in blood and follicular fluid and, thus, may affect oocyte quality. In …

Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) have been proposed as a means of overcoming
the significant challenges of managing small, isolated populations of endangered species in …

The main objectives of this study were to determine the influence of diets enriched in α-
linolenic, linoleic or oleic acid on the development and transcriptomic profile of embryos …

Contents Cattle are fed moderate amounts of long chain fatty acids (FA) with the objective to
enhance lactation and growth; however, recent interest on lipid feeding to cows has focused …

Obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic disorders are major health issues worldwide. As
the epidemic of metabolic disorders continues, the associated medical co-morbidities …
