Melatonin promotes the development of immature oocytes from the COH cycle into healthy offspring by protecting mitochondrial function

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Melatonin (MT) regulates reproductive performance as a potent antioxidant; however, its beneficial effects on oocyte development remain largely unknown, especially in human oocytes. The collected 193 immature oocytes from the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) cycle underwent in vitro maturation (IVM) in IVM medium contained 10 μmol/L MT (n = 105, M group) and no MT (n = 88, NM group), followed by...
