Mitochondrial dysfunction reduces the energy available to the immune system and impairs the immune systems ability to keep the gut microbiota under control
12,21,22 The opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore under pathological conditions, such as oxidative stress, calcium overload, or energy depletion, leads to disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential and the release of proapoptotic factors, ultimately culminating in cell death
At a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL, LC exerted antioxidant properties, along with an enhancement of mitochondrial lipid metabolism to increase blastocyst cell number, blastocyst expansion and zona pellucida thinning, all of which promotes blastocyst quality leading to successful hatching and implantation
