Measurement of metabolites in single preimplantation embryos; a new means to study metabolic control in early embryos
Abstract
The preimplantation mammalian embryo offers many unique research opportunities. Among these is the possibility of studying the progression of metabolic systems during the transition from the single, free-living, migratory germ cell to the multicellular blastocyst, ready for sessile existence and dependence on second-hand nutrition.
