Objective

To analyze within-/between-subject, in?vivo versus in?vitro maturation (IVM), and age-related variations of mitochondrial (mt) bioenergy potential and oxidative status of metaphase II (MII) oocytes recovered from hormonally stimulated sheep.

Design

Prospective study.

Setting

Academic basic research laboratory.

Subject(s)

Ten adult ewes.

Intervention(s)

Estrus synchronization, controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), ovariohysterectomy; follicular and oviductal oocyte retrieval; IVM of follicular oocytes.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Mean ¡À SD, within-subject (CV_w) and between-subject (CV_b) variation coefficients of mt activity, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and mt/ROS colocalization in sheep oocytes from young and aged donors and matured in?vivo (in?vivo MIIs) or in?vitro (IVM MIIs).

Result(s)

Within- and between-subject, in?vivo versus IVM, and age-related variations of mt activity were observed in MII oocytes from hormonally stimulated donor sheep. ROS levels increased significantly in oocytes from aged donors. Mt-ROS colocalization was consistently higher in in?vivo MIIs compared with IVM MIIs. Oviductal energy/antioxidant ability is influenced by COH.

Conclusion(s)

Oocyte energy/oxidative status is affected by within-/between-subject, in?vivo versus IVM, and age-related variations. Mt/ROS colocalization is a reliable marker of in?vivo MII oocytes.
