Role of <i>Sirt3</i> in mitochondrial biogenesis and developmental competence of human <i>in vitro</i> matured oocytes
18 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Does Sirt3 dysfunction result in poor developmental outcomes for human oocytes after in vitro maturation (IVM)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Inefficient Sirt3 expression induced decreased mitochondrial DNA copy number and biogenesis, and therefore impaired the developmental competence of human IVM oocytes. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Cytoplasmic immaturity in IVM oocytes may lead to reduced developmental...
