Improvement of oocyte quality through the SIRT signaling pathway

Background: Oocyte quality is one of the major deciding factors in female fertility competence. Methods: PubMed database was searched for reviews by using the following keyword “oocyte quality” AND “Sirtuins”. The methodological quality of each literature review was assessed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement. Main findings: Oxidative stress has been

Peripheral reproductive organ health and melatonin: ready for prime time.

Fertility / Denise

Melatonin has a wide variety of beneficial actions at the level of the gonads and their adnexa. Some actions are mediated via its classic membrane melatonin receptors while others seem to be receptor-independent.

Melatonin prevents postovulatory oocyte aging in the mouse and extends the window for optimal fertilization in vitro.

Fertility / Denise

The quality of metaphase II oocytes deteriorates rapidly following ovulation as the result of an aging process associated with impaired fertilizing potential, disrupted developmental competence, and increased likelihood of embryonic resorption.

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is secreted during the dark hours at night by pineal gland, and it regulates a variety of important central and peripheral actions related to circadian rhythms and reproduction.

Oxidative stress impairs oocyte quality and melatonin protects oocytes from free radical damage and improves fertilization rate.

Fertility / Denise

We investigated the relationship between oxidative stress and poor oocyte quality and whether the antioxidant melatonin improves oocyte quality.
