Effects of Granulosa Cell Mitochondria Transfer on the Early Development of Bovine Embryos <i>In Vitro</i>
1 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of exogenous mitochondria obtained from granulosa cells on the development of bovine embryos in vitro. We classified cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) as good (G)- and poor (P)-quality oocytes based on cytoplasmic appearance and cumulus characteristics, and assessed mtDNA copy numbers in the G and P oocytes with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The...
