Ferulic acid ameliorates the quality of in vitro-aged bovine oocytes by suppressing oxidative stress and apoptosis
Figure 7. Schematic diagram of the protective action of FA on in vitro-aged bovine oocytes. After FA supplementation, intracellular ROS, SA-β-Gal, and DNA damage were decreased, while intracellular GSH, activity of CAT and SOD as well as mitochondria activity and function (MMP, ATP production) were increased in aged oocyte. These may help oocyte delay aging process and improve oocyte quality.
