Age-associated alteration of gene expression patterns in mouse oocytes
18 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Decreasing oocyte competence with maternal aging is a major factor in human infertility. To investigate the age-dependent molecular changes in a mouse model, we compared the expression profiles of metaphase II oocytes collected from 5- to 6-week-old mice with those collected from 42- to 45-week-old mice using the NIA 22K 60-mer oligo microarray. Among approximately 11,000 genes whose transcripts were detected in...
