Abstract:Diet-induced obesity reduces oocyte quality mainly by impacting oocyte mitochondrial functions. Moreover, maternal obesity is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in oocytes of their adult offspring. However, these effects were reported only in fully grown oocytes, mainly in the form of abnormal mitochondrial ultrastructure. It is unknown if obesogenic (OB) diets or maternal obesity already impact the primordial and preantral follicles. Considering the long duration and dynamics of folliculogenesis, deter… Show more
