| Abstract | ||
| The estimation of oocyte quality in human in vitro fertilization (IVF) is an important point for the embryologists. Oocyte selection and the identification of the best oocytes may help to limit an overproduction of embryos and to improve the results of oocyte cryopreservation programs. The follicular fluid (FF) can be provided easily during oocyte pick-up and known to represents an optimal source for non-invasive biochemical predictors of oocyte quality. However, till now no substance was found to be used as reliable markers of oocyte competence to fertilization, embryo development and pregnancy. Metabolism and ATP levels within the oocyte and adjacent cumulus cells are associated with quality of oocyte and optimal development of a healthy embryo. Lipid metabolism provides a potent source of energy and its importance during oocyte maturation is being increasingly recognised. | ||
