Ruthenium red improves blastocyst developmental competence by regulating mitochondrial Ca2+ and mitochondrial functions in fertilized porcine oocytes in vitro
Ruthenium red (RR) inhibits calcium (Ca2+) entry from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria, and is involved in maintenance of Ca2+ homeostasis in mammalian cells. Ca2+ homeostasis is very important for further embryonic development of fertilized oocytes. However, the effect of RR on mitochondria-Ca2+ (...
