Correlation of Abnormal Mitochondrial Distribution in Mouse Oocytes with Reduced Developmental Competence
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
Selection of good quality oocytes is important for improvement of assisted reproductive technology. Here, we studied the relationship of the mitochondrial distribution in metaphase II stage (MII) oocytes with fertility, since mitochondria in ooplasm are essential for energy production required for fertilization and embryo development. To observe mitochondria non-invasively, we used oocytes from a transgenic...
