Abstract Background Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is important for energy production as it
encodes some of the key genes of electron transfer chain, where the majority of cellular …

Since the introduction of human assisted reproduction, oocyte cryopreservation has been
regarded as an attractive option to capitalize the reproductive potential of surplus oocytes …

Background Recent advances in vitrification technology have markedly improved the
efficacy of oocyte cryopreservation in terms of oocyte survival and pregnancy, as well as live …

Lipid-rich porcine oocytes are extremely sensitive to cryopreservation compared to other low-
lipid oocytes. Vitrification has outperformed slowing freezing in oocyte cryopreservation and …

Background The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of vitrification and in vitro
maturation on the mitochondrial distribution and ATP content of oocytes. Methods The …

In mammals, unfertilized oocytes are one of the most available stages for cryopreservation
because the cryopreserved oocytes can be used for assisted reproductive technologies …

Research question Can exposure time to equilibration solutions during oocyte vitrification
affect the lipid profile of oocytes and embryonic development? Could vitrification media …

The cryopreservation of immature oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage would create
an easily accessible, non-seasonal source of female gametes for research and …

Background Oocytes, the largest cells in mammals, harbor numerous mitochondria within
their cytoplasm. These highly dynamic organelles are crucial for providing energy resources …

In order to assess effects of vitrification on ovine oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage,
the conventional plastic straw (CS), the open-pulled straw (OPS), and Cryoloop were used …
