Although puberty can occur as early as 14–15months of age, depending on breed and use,
the reproductive career of mares may continue to advanced ages. Once mares are used as …

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 …

Numerous similarities in reproductive aging have been documented between the mare and
woman. Aging is associated with a decline in fertility. In mares and women, oocyte transfer …

Cryopreservation and transplantation of ovarian tissue (OT) represents a method for fertility
preservation. However, as the transplantation is performed without vessel anastomosis …

The objective of this work was to study the ovarian function when follicular development is
induced during a hyperandrogenic condition. Female rats were injected with either equine …

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

Understanding the transition from quiescent primordial follicles to activated primary follicles
is vital for characterizing ovarian folliculogenesis and improving assisted reproductive …

The method of transportation and the conditions imposed on the ovarian tissue are pivotal
aspects for the success of ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC). The aim of this study was …

Heterotopic and orthotopic ovarian tissue autotransplantation techniques, currently used in
humans, will become promising alternative methods for fertility preservation in domestic and …

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 …
