Melatonin improves the first cleavage of parthenogenetic embryos from vitrified–warmed mouse oocytes potentially by promoting cell cycle progression

Abstract Background This study investigated the effect of melatonin (MT) on cell cycle (G1/S/G2/M) of parthenogenetic zygotes developed from vitrified-warmed mouse metaphase II (MII) oocytes and elucidated the potential mechanism of MT action in the first cleavage of embryos. Results After vitrifica...
