Mitochondrial DNA content affects the fertilizability of human oocytes
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA content varies considerably in oocytes, even when collected from the same patient. In the present study, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis of 113 unfertilized oocytes obtained from 43 patients revealed an average of 193,000 (range: 20,000 to 598,000) mitochondrial genomes per cell. We compared several groups of oocytes to investigate the relationship between mitochondrial...
