Abstract excerpt
Whether metabolites enriched at early developmental stages affect cellular and organismal aging remains unclear. In this study, we comprehensively profiled the metabolic landscape of mouse oocytes in comparison to cleavage-stage embryos. Our analysis revealed that oocytes display accumulation of reductive metabolites that diminish following fertilization. Notably, we identified serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine,...
