Glucose and redox metabolism in meiotically blocked in vitro grown mouse antral follicles

ConclusionsCurrent results suggest that in addition to impaired nuclear maturation, metabolic disruption is present in MB follicles. MB follicles either compensate with high levels of TCA cycle and PPP activities in CCs, or are unable to drive proper levels of aerobic metabolism, which might be due to the current culture conditions.
