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 …

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

Metabolic conditions characterized by elevated free fatty acid concentrations in blood and
follicular fluid are often associated with impaired female fertility. Especially elevated …

Mobilization of fatty acids from adipose tissue during metabolic stress increases the amount

Oocytes of all mammals contain an endogenous lipid reserve. This feature reflects their
shared ancestral origin, the yolk-rich amniote egg. However, the lipid is species-specific in …

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 …

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids can influence reproductive performance. In dairy cattle,
some high-fat diets resulted in higher blastocyst rates and improved embryo quality. These …

The lipid content and fatty acid composition of fresh immature and in vitro matured bovine
oocytes cultured in media with or without serum, and also those of frozen-thawed immature …

The fatty-acid composition of follicular fluid from small and large developing follicles was
analysed and the effects of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids on spontaneous …

Abstract Linoleic acid (LA; 18: 2 n-6) is the most abundant fatty acid in bovine follicular fluid,
and it was previously reported that LA concentration significantly decreases when follicle …
