    Metabolic reprogramming is crucial for oocyte development, enabling cells to adjust metabolic patterns for energy homeostasis and biosynthesis.

  • 2

    Dysregulation of metabolism linked to conditions like diabetes and obesity negatively impacts oocyte quality and embryonic development.

  • 3

    Key metabolic pathways involved in oocyte maturation include glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, which support energy supply and genetic integrity.

  • 4

    Strategies to enhance assisted reproduction success may involve targeted metabolic interventions and optimization of mitochondrial function.

  • 5

    The review emphasizes the need for integrating metabolic research with reproductive medicine to improve clinical outcomes in fertility.
