Astaxanthin activates PI3K/AKT and AMPK signaling to alleviate oxidative stress and improve mouse oocyte In vitro maturation.
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has broad applications in livestock production, biomedical research, and developmental biology. Oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) is a critical step in ART; however, oxidative stress-induced impairment of oocyte quality remains a major obstacle limiting its efficiency and broader a...
