REDOX regulation of early embryo development

Abstract excerpt

Preimplantation embryonic development is associated with a change in preference in energy metabolism pathways. Although oxidative phosphorylation is obligatory in most species throughout preimplantation development, an increasing role for energy derived from glycolysis is associated with compaction and blastulation. Such a shift in metabolic pathway preference is desirable as the embryo faces an increasingly...
