Abstract
A quantitative analysis of mitochondrial populations during the meiotic prophase of mouse oogenesis was carried out. The mean absolute area occupied by mitochondria and the mean number of mitochondria per cell increases in a linear fashion from pachytene through dictyate. The mean area occupied by mitochondria increases at pachytene and thereafter. Both small and large aggregations of mitochondria are seen, particularly during the later stages of prophase. Vacuolated mitochondria are present from preleptotene through pachytene. Mitochondria show major dynamic changes throughout fetal mouse oogenesis, which may suggest significant functional activities yet to be elucidated.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
