Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Is the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number of cumulus granulosa cells (CGCs) related to the maturation of oocyte cytoplasm? SUMMARY ANSWER: Compared with the mtDNA copy number of CGCs from germinal vesicles (GV), CGCs from Metaphase I (MI) oocytes appear to have a lower mtDNA copy number. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: The growth and development of CGCs and oocyte are synchronised. The interaction...
