Recent Advances: Here, we give consideration to the quality control mechanisms identified within the ovary that afford protection to the female germline. Our primary focus is to review recent advances in our understanding of the autophagy pathway and its contribution to promoting oocyte longevity and modulating pathophysiological responses to oxidative stress. In addition, we explore the therapeutic potential of emerging strategies to fortify autophagic activity. Critical Issues: The complex interplay of oxidative stress and autophagy has yet to be fully elucidated within the context of the aging oocyte and surrounding ovarian environment. Future Directions: Emerging evidence provides a strong impetus to resolve the causal link between autophagy and oxidative stress-driven pathologies in the aging oocyte. Such research may ultimately inform novel therapeutic strategies to combat the age-related loss of female fertility via fortification of intrinsic autophagic activity.
