1452-Adenosine Disequilibrium: Fingerprint of Embryo Quality
This research study investigates the metabolic factors influencing oocyte quality and embryonic development to improve outcomes in assisted reproductive technologies. Through metabolomic profiling of human and mouse samples, researchers identified adenosine as a critical biomarker, noting that its imbalance between cells and follicular fluid correlates with poor embryo quality. The study demonstrates that a reduction in adenosine transporters and gap-junction proteins causes this metabolic disequilibrium, leading to oxidative stress and meiotic defects. Functionally, the authors found that…
