Values with different superscripts within the column are significantly different (P<0.05).

Controls: embryos without any treatments for visualization of mitochondria, Continuous rings Yes: embryos with continuous rings of MitoTracker signals at the observation on day 1; Continuous rings No: embryos without continuous rings of MitoTracker signals at the observation on day 1.
