[ 1 ] - Effects of Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase Inhibition on DNA Integrity and Gene Expression in Ovarian Follicular Cells in Mice with Endotoxemia

Background: A mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation was used to investigate the effect of pharmacological inhibition of nuclear enzyme PARP-1 on oocyte maturation, apoptotic and necrotic death, as well as DNA integrity of follicular cells. Also, the relative expression of cumulus genes (HAS2, COX2, and GREM1) associated with oocyte developmental competence was assessed. M...
