Abstract:Female age is the single greatest factor influencing reproductive performance. It is widely known that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in reproductive senescence. Ovarian bioenergetics includes a sophisticated metabolic synergism between oocytes and human mural granulosa cells (GCs), which is crucial for oocyte maturation during follicular growth. These cells are believed to be potential biomarkers of oocyte quality. It has been proposed that alterations in their energy metabolism could lead to in… Show more
