Ovarian follicular development in cattle is characterized by waves of growth during the
prepubertal and postpartum periods and during estrous cycles. Each wave of follicular …

Productivity in farm species is controlled by many factors, including ovulation rate. In cattle,
single ovulations occur most frequently and in sheep (and goats) the number of ova …

A longitudinal study was conducted to examine the relationship between lameness and
delayed ovarian cyclicity during the first 60 d postpartum and days to first luteal activity …

The extent, causes, and physiological significance of the variation in number of follicles
growing during ovarian follicular waves in human beings and cattle are unknown. Therefore …

Culture of preantral follicles has important biotechnological implications through its potential
to produce large quantities of oocytes for embryo production and transfer. A long-term …

The objectives of this study were to develop a serum-free bovine granulosa cell culture
system in which FSH-responsive estradiol production could be induced and maintained, and …

The nature of selection of the dominant follicle is reviewed by comparing research results
between cattle and horses. In both species, emergence of a follicular wave is stimulated by …

The objective of this study was to investigate changes in expression of mRNAs encoding
FSH receptor (FSHr), LH receptor (LHr), cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage (P450scc) …

As soon as the primordial follicle store has been established, usually during fetal
development in ruminants(Juengel et al., 2002), follicles begin to grow. Once initiated …

Abstract Changes in follicular fluid (FF) concentrations of estradiol, inhibin forms, and insulin-
like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs), percentage of apoptotic granulosa cells (% A) …
