The Defensive Role of Cumulus Cells Against Reactive Oxygen Species Insult in Metaphase II Mouse Oocytes.
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719115607993

We investigated the ability of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), hydroxyl radical ((·)OH), and hypochlorous acid (HOCl), to overcome the defensive capacity of cumulus cells and elucidate the mechanism thro…

Impact of hydrogen peroxide-driven Fenton reaction on mouse oocyte quality.
Free radical biology & medicine ·doi:10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2012.12.007

Here we show that hydroxyl radical ((•)OH) generated through the Fenton reaction alters metaphase-II mouse oocyte microtubules (MT) and chromosomal alignment (CH). Metaphase-II mouse oocytes, obtained commercially, were grouped as follows: …

IL-6 and Mouse Oocyte Spindle
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0035535

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is considered a major indicator of the acute-phase inflammatory response. Endometriosis and pelvic inflammation, diseases that manifest elevated levels of IL-6, are commonly associated with higher infertility. However, …

Melatonin prevents hypochlorous acid-induced alterations in microtubule and chromosomal structure in metaphase-II mouse oocytes
Journal of pineal research ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-079X.2012.00977.x

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is generated by myeloperoxidase, using chloride and hydrogen peroxide as substrates. Here we demonstrate that HOCl alters metaphase-II mouse oocyte microtubules and chromosomal (CH) alignment which can be prevented …
