Age-associated decline in oocyte quality is common in mammals. Oocytes take a long time
to reach their fullgrown size in large animals, and maternal physical conditions profoundly …

This study investigated the effect of aging on mitochondria in granulosa cells (GCs) collected
from the antral follicles of young and aged cows (25–50 months and over 140 months in …

Research question Does a three-dimensional culture system based on magnetic levitation
with nanoparticles assembly maintain the follicular structure and viability with adequate …

The concentration of fatty acids in follicular fluid reflect the physical condition of donors, and
palmitic acid (PA) is a major component of follicular fluid. The present study examined the …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and
