Advanced maternal age is a key factor in female infertility, primarily due to declines in ovarian reserve and oocyte quality. However, the metabolic mechanisms underlying reproductive aging are still poorly understood. Here, we show that uridine levels in the plasma and ovaries of aged mice are s...
The metabolic profile of follicular fluid (FF) has been investigated to look for biomarkers for oocyte quality. Resolvin E1 (RvE1), a potent pro-resolving mediator, was reported to have protective action in cell function. The study aimed to examine the predictive value of RvE1 for oocyte quality ...
The gut microbiota plays a vital role in maintaining the physiological function of host health and the pathogenesis of various diseases. However, its relationship with maternal age-associated decline in oocyte quality remains elusive. Here, we report that establishment of gut microbiota from youn...
