Iron metabolism is prospectively associated with insulin resistance and glucose intolerance over a 7-year follow-up period: the CODAM study Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Several markers of iron metabolism have been associated with insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes mellitus in cross-sectional studies. However, prospective data on these associations are scarce, and it is currently unclear in which tissues iron metabolism may contribute to IR. Therefore, we investigated whether markers of iron metabolism were associated with IR in muscle, liver, and adipocytes, and with glucose ...
Glucose Metabolism Characterization During Mouse In Vitro Maturation Identifies Alterations In Cumulus Cells† Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In vitro maturation (IVM) is an assisted reproduction technique with reduced hormone-related side effects. Several attempts to implement IVM in routine practice have failed, primarily due to its relatively low efficiency compared to conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF). Recently, capacitation (CAPA)-IVM, a novel two-step IVM method, has improved the embryology outcomes through synchronizing the oocyte nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation. ...
Glucose and redox metabolism in meiotically blocked in vitro grown mouse antral follicles Vrije Universiteit Brussel
PURPOSE: Glucose and redox metabolism characterization in mouse antral follicles with meiotically blocked oocytes, after in vitro follicle culture (IFC) from the early secondary stage.
METHODS: Following IFC (10 days), oocytes, corresponding cumulus (CC), and granulosa cells (GC) were collected from antral follicles: (i) on day 9-immature, germinal vesicle (GV) stage; (ii) on day 10, after hCG/EGF stimulation-mature, metaphase II ...
