Zygoparity and sex steroid hormone profiles in bluemouth Helicolenus dactylopterus [PDF]
Two hundred and seven individuals (103 females and 104 males) of bluemouth Helicolenus dactylopterus (Scorpaeniformes, Sebastidae), a commercially important deep-water species with an unusual reproductive strategy, from the eastern Atlantic Ocean ranging

Impact of Oxidative Stress on Age-Associated Decline in Oocyte Developmental Competence
Reproductive capacity in women starts to decline beyond their mid-30s and pregnancies in older women result in higher rates of miscarriage with aneuploidy.

Impact of Maternal Age on Oocyte and Embryo Competence
The overall success of human reproduction, either spontaneously or after IVF, is highly dependent upon maternal age. The main reasons for age-related infertility include reduced ovarian reserve and decreased oocyte/embryo competence due to aging insults,

Human embryos from overweight and obese women display phenotypic and metabolic abnormalities [PDF]
STUDY QUESTION Is the developmental timing and metabolic regulation disrupted in embryos from overweight or obese women? SUMMARY ANSWER Oocytes from overweight or obese women are smaller than those from women of healthy weight, yet post-fertilization ...

The spatiotemporal expression pattern of the bone morphogenetic protein family in rat ovary cell types during the estrous cycle. [PDF]
In the mammalian ovary, great interest in the expression and function of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family has been recently generated from evidence of their critical role in determining folliculogenesis and female fertility.

Aspects of follicular and oocyte maturation that affect the developmental potential of embryos.
The ability to mature, be fertilized and finally to develop into a viable embryo is acquired gradually by the oocyte during progressive differentiation throughout folliculogenesis.

Reorganization, specialization, and degradation of oocyte maternal components for early development
Background Oocyte components are maternally provided, solely determine oocyte quality, and coordinately determine embryo quality with zygotic gene expression.
