In Vitro Embryo Production Efficiency in Cattle and Its Association with Oocyte Adenosine Triphosphate Content, Quantity of Mitochondrial DNA, and Mitochondrial DNA Haplogroup

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondria have a broad range of functions that affect reproduction, and structural as well as quantitative variation in mtDNA has been associated with gamete quality and reproductive success. To investigate the mitochondria effect on in vitro embryo production, we collected oocytes by ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration from donor cows known to differ in the developmental capacity, measured by the...
