Abstract:Background: The importance of the processes of lipogenesis and lipolysis in providing an essential energy source during oocyte maturation is increasingly being recognized. Recent our studies have demonstrated that melatonin up-regulated lipid metabolism during oocyte maturation. Nevertheless, there is still limited information regarding the underlying molecular mechanisms of action of melatonin on lipid metabolism in porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs). Here, our aim was to investigate the effect of melato… Show more
