Overweight and obese (OWOB) women are reported to have a lower chance of becoming pregnant. The nutritional enrichment of the periconceptional environment apparent in obese women may be detrimental for embryo viability. This is the first study to exa...

Metabolic regulation during early embryo development (2015)
Thesis
McKeegan, P. Metabolic regulation during early embryo development. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4216544

The preimplantation embryo must satisfy dynamic changes in energy demand during development to the blastocyst stage. Energy is provided through regulated metabolic pathways including glycolysis, β-oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation. Oxygen consu...
