Adding FF and FA-Mix to the maturation medium increased the lipid content in the oocytes and cumulus cells. The effects of FF on the cumulus cells and oocytes were not observed after FA-Mix supplementation, indicating that the concentration of the NEFAs in the FF are closely associated with an ability to support oocyte maturation and the metabolism of cumulus cells and oocytes.
