Effect of globin peptide on female fertility in aging granulosa cell-specific Nrg1 knockout mice.

In our previous study, we observed ovarian fibrosis in both obese and aging mice with intracellular lipid droplets in the fibrotic ovaries. Although the importance of mitochondria in ovarian fibrosis has been recognized in pharmacological studies, their role in lipid metabolism remains unclear.
