Human female fecundity decreases irreversibly as chronological age rises, adversely affecting oocyte quality, consequently worsening pregnancy outcomes and increasing the extent of birth defects. The first-line type 2 diabetes treatment metformin has been associated with delayed aging and reduction of oxidative stress; yet it remains unclear if metformin confers any benefits for oocytes from aged mice,...
