During the reproductive lifespan of a female, only a limited quantity of oocytes are naturally
ovulated; therefore, the mammalian ovary possesses a substantial population of preantral …

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

The ovary is a dynamic structure with two main functions. First, the ovary is responsible for
producing hormones that control and direct the female reproductive system. Second, it is in …

Comprehensive studies on spatial distribution of preantral follicles in the ovary are scarce.
Considering that preantral follicles represent the main ovarian reserve, harvesting of these …

Folliculogenesis is a process of development and maturation of the ovarian follicles, being
essential for the maintenance of fertility. In in vivo conditions, 99.9% of the follicles of an …

Characterization of the ovarian preantral follicle population is a necessary step to improve
understanding of folliculogenesis and ovarian physiology. Therefore, in the present study …

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 …

The goal of this study was to determine the distribution of preantral follicles in bovine
ovaries. Follicular distribution in the ovaries (n= 12) was evaluated in the region of the …

This study aimed to evaluate different concentrations of growth and differentiation factor-9
(GDF-9) on the development and maintenance of equine preantral follicle morphology …

Folliculogenesis is a complex and dynamic process by which follicles grow and develop with
the goal of releasing a fertilizable oocyte upon ovulation. At birth, most females have a large …
