Mitochondrial OXPHOS and ROS production in ovarian aging. In the process of ovarian aging, the balance between oxidation and antioxidant systems is disrupted. Mitochondria display aberrant OXPHOS that produces excessive amounts of ROS that damage lipids, proteins and DNA, specially telomeric regions. And reduced ATP level activates AMPK leading to cell cycle arrest and senescence induction. Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), superoxide (·O2-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl radicals (·OH), Retinoblastoma protein (Rb).
