Popis: The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in mitochondria in porcine MII-stage oocytes after open pulled straw (OPS) vitrification and to determine their roles in apoptosis and in vitro developmental ability. The mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) concentration, mitochondrial distribution, mitochondrial ultrastructure, early-stage apoptosis with Annexin V-FITC staining, survival rate, parthenogenetic developmental ability and related gene expression were measured in the present experiments. The results showed that: (1) the mitochondrial ΔΨm of vitrified-thawed oocytes (1.05) was lower than that of fresh oocytes 1.24 (P
