Anti-apoptotic properties of carbon monoxide in porcine oocyte during in vitro aging

Anti-apoptotic properties of carbon monoxide in porcine oocyte during in vitro aging

If fertilization of matured oocyte does not occur, unfertilized oocyte undergoes aging, resulting in a time-dependent reduction of the oocyte’s quality. The aging of porcine oocytes can lead to apoptosis. Carbon monoxide (CO), a signal molecule produced by the heme oxygenase (HO), possesses cytoprot...
