The mammalian ovary is responsible for essential stages of folliculogenesis and hormonal
production, regulating the female physiological functions during the menstrual/estrous …

Innumerable similarities in reproductive cyclicity and hormonal alterations highlight the
considerable utility of the mare to study aspects of follicular dynamics and reproductive …

The complex composition of the follicular fluid (FF), the intimate proximity to the oocyte, and
the continual changes in their composition have a major effect on folliculogenesis and …

Background Proteomic studies of follicular fluid (FF) exist for several species, including the
horse; however, the seasonal influence on FF proteome has not been explored in livestock …

The most adequate fixative solution for equine ovarian tissue is still to be determined as a
tool to evaluate the improvement of methodological studies in assisted reproductive …

Ovulatory follicle development and associated oocyte maturation involve complex
coordinated molecular and cellular mechanisms not yet fully understood. This study …

This study aimed to gain insight on the effect of different seasons of the year on the
expression pattern of growth factor and hormone receptors involved in follicle development …

The inability to obtain in vivo samples of antral follicle wall layers without removing the
ovaries or sacrificing the animals has limited more in‐depth studies on folliculogenesis. In …

Preservation of cellular integrity and its mechanisms after ovarian tissue cryopreservation
(OTC) and in vitro culture (IVC) procedures are crucial aspects for the success of …

Despite the progress in assisted reproductive techniques, there is still a lack of rapid and
minimally invasive in situ approaches for further enhancements of female fertility. Therefore …
