Expression and positive impact of omentin-1 on in vitro porcine oocyte maturation via the ERK1/2 and PRKAA1.
Oocyte maturation is a critical stage in embryo development and female reproduction, and is regulated by adipokines- hormones produced by adipose tissue. Omentin-1 (ITLN1) is an adipokine known to regulate ovarian follicle function, however, its role in oocyte maturation remains unclear. This study investigated ITLN1 e...
