RESUMEN

The low quality of oocytes is one of the main causes of the suboptimal reproductive outcome of female mammals with advanced maternal age. Here, we present a detailed protocol to obtain high-quality oocytes and embryos from aged mice by nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) administration. We also describe fluorescence staining procedures to assess the organelle dynamics in oocytes, and in vitro fertilization and embryo culture systems to evaluate the influence of NMN on the fertilization ability and embryonic development potential. For complete information on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Miao et al. (2020).
