Introduction: The equine ovary is peculiar in that, unlike other mammalian ovaries, its germinal surface, where follicles and oocytes are found, is located at the organ’s central portion, while its conjunctive tissue and ...

Follicle diameters and concentrations of follicular fluid factors were studied in the two largest follicles (F1 and F2) using F1 diameters in increments of 0.2 mm (equivalent to 4 h intervals) and extending from 7.4 to 8.4 ...

In the ovary, angiotensin II (ANGII) acts through the type 2 receptor (AGTR2) to induce ovulation and may play a role in follicle atresia. In this study, we determined the expression of AGTR2 mRNA and protein during follicle ...

The objective of this research was to estimate the population of preantral follicles in prepubertal (P), adult (A) and pregnant (PR) female buffaloes, as well as to observe the different degeneration types and rates of ...

The number of antral follicles counted (AFC) by ultrasound is associated with fertility in cattle. Cows with higher follicle count (HFC) have higher performance in reproductive-assisted technologies than cows with lower ...

Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyse the expression and cellular localization of FOXO3, pFOXO3 and PTEN throughout human ovary development both before and after birth. Methods: Foetal, pubertal and adult ...
