AMPK Suppression Due to Obesity Drives Oocyte mtDNA Heteroplasmy via ATF5‐POLG Axis
18 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Due to the exclusive maternal transmission, oocyte mitochondrial dysfunction reduces fertility rates, affects embryonic development, and programs offspring to metabolic diseases. However, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are vulnerable to mutations during oocyte maturation, leading to mitochondrial nucleotide variations (mtSNVs) within a single oocyte, referring to mtDNA heteroplasmy. Obesity (OB) accounts for more than...
