Oxygen consumption and energy metabolism of the early mouse embryo
1 Aug 1996
Abstract excerpt
Oxygen consumption of preimplantation and early postimplantation mouse embryos has been measured using a novel noninvasive ultramicrofluorescence technique, based on an oil-soluble, nontoxic quaternary benzoid compound pyrene, whose fluorescence is quenched in the presence of oxygen. Pyruvate and glucose consumption, lactate production, and glycogen formation from glucose were also measured. Preimplantation mouse...
