Zebrafish lipid droplets regulate embryonic ATP homeostasis to power early development

In zebrafish embryos, the maternally supplied pool of ATP is insufficient to power even the earliest of developmental events (0–3 hpf) such as oocyte-to-embryo transition (OET). The embryos generate an additional pulse (2.5 h long) of ATP (1.25–4 hpf) to achieve the embryonic ATP homeostasis. We dem...
