Correlation between abnormal energy metabolism of ovarian granulosa cells and in vitro fertilization–embryo transfer outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity... by Ya-Kun Zhao, Ya-Na Gao, Ling-Chao Wang, Jing Wang, Gai-Jing Wang, Hong-Li Wu

“…Key results When compared to the non-PCOS group, patients with PCOS had a significantly increased number of retrieved oocytes but a significantly decreased number of high-quality embryos, available embryos, and high-quality blastocyst formation (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the mitochondrial membrane potential, adenosine triphosphate level, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number decreased in the GCs, whereas the levels of reactive oxygen species increased (P < 0.01). …”
