Figure 5

Schematic diagram illustrating the effect of Mito-TEMPO on porcine embryo development. Top panel; zygotes with low cytoplasm had increasing mitochondrial superoxide. In addition, high superoxide production in G2 embryos caused defective MMP and ATP production. Mitochondrial fission and aggregation increased in G2 embryos. Bottom panel; Zygotes of low cytoplasm cultured with Mito-TEMPO for early embryo development. Reduction of mitochondrial superoxide increases the blastocysts development rate and decreases mitochondrial aggregation in porcine.
