Abstract

Purpose

To utilize a novel mitochondrial function assay with pooled granulosa cells to determine whether mitochondrial function would differ by patient demographics and embryo development.

Methods

This was a prospective pilot study in a hospital-based assisted reproductive program and public university. Mitochondrial metabolic substrate utilization was assessed in pooled granulosa cells from 40 women undergoing in vitro fertilization during 2018 and 2019.

Results

Assessment of mitochondrial substrate metabolism in pooled granulosa cells revealed higher citric acid, L-malic acid, and octanoyl-L-carnitine utilization with higher body mass index (BMI). Utilization of citric acid, cis-aconitic acid, D-alpha-keto-glutaric acid, L-glutamine, and alanine plus glycine was significantly lower as total dosage of FSH administered increased. Utilization of glycogen was significantly higher in patients with a higher percentage of fertilized oocytes. D-alpha-keto-glutaric acid utilization was significantly lower in patients with a higher percentage of good 8-cell embryos. L-glutamine utilization was significantly lower, with a higher percentage of blastocyst formation. Mitochondrial metabolic scores (MMS), which reflect overall mitochondrial activity of the granulosa pool, were significantly higher in patients with higher BMI and with greater numbers of mature oocytes retrieved. MMS in granulosa decreased as total FSH dose administered increased.

Conclusions

Granulosa cell utilization of substrates feeding into the citric acid cycle changed with total FSH dosage and BMI. Fertilization rate, 8-cell embryo quality, and blastocyst formation also associated with different energy substrate usage. Mitochondrial substrate utilization by granulosa cells from individual follicles could be further developed into a useful diagnostic tool.
