Structural and metabolic cumulus cell alteration affects oocyte quality in underweight women

In conclusion, malnutrition and other conditions in underweight women may adversely affect ovulation, and the development, and fertilization of oocytes resulting from changes to the intracellular structure of cumulus cells and metabolic processes. These changes may lead to reduced fertility or unsatisfactory reproduction outcomes in women.PMID:38130161 | DOI:10.1017/S0967199423000588
