| Research Abstract |
We have focused attention on the mitochondrial activity of in vitro grown (IVG) oocytes and shown that L-Carnitine, which acts as a carrier of fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane for subsequent beta-oxidation, supported the viability of growing oocytes. Moreover, we have successfully obtained fertilized ova by ICSI which developed from growing oocytes in vitro.
