Mitochondrial Respiration in <i>Drosophila</i> Ovaries after a Full Cycle of Oogenesis under Simulated Microgravity

Mitochondrial Respiration in <i>Drosophila</i> Ovaries after a Full Cycle of Oogenesis under Simulated Microgravity

Studies of the function of the female reproductive system in zero gravity are urgent for the future exploration of deep space. Female reproductive cells, oocytes, are rich in mitochondria, which allow oocytes to produce embryos. The rate of cellular respiration was determined to assess the functiona...
