Abnormal Mitochondrial Structure in Human Unfertilized Oocytes and Arrested Embryos
1 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
To clarify the relationship between mitochondria and embryo development, we collected human unfertilized oocytes, early embryos, and arrested embryos. Unfertilized oocytes and poor-quality embryos were collected, and the ultrastructure of mitochondria was determined by transmission electron micrography. Four criteria for determining the mitochondrial state were mitochondrial morphology, cristae shape, location,...
