Capillary angiogenesis and degeneration in bovine ovarian antral follicles.
Angiogenesis and capillary degeneration are both evident during ovarian follicle growth. However, the characteristics and distribution of thecal capillary proliferative and degenerative structures have not been fully defined. Indeed, the role of thecal microvasculature changes in follicular atresia is still a matter of debate. The present study examined the distribution of thecal capillary chan...
متن کاملAcid and alkaline phosphatase in bovine antral follicles.
Acid and alkaline phosphatases were measured in the follicular fluid of 766 individual follicles from 96 cows. Follicles were obtained by bilateral ovariectomy or at slaughter from animals at various stages of the estrous cycle and pregnancy. Mean follicle size varied with the physiological state of the cow (P less than .0001). Acid phosphatase activity (U/microliters) varied inversely with fol...
متن کاملThe relationship between antral follicle count in a bovine ovary and developmental competence of in vitro-grown oocytes derived from early antral follicles.
To clarify the relationship between ovarian reserve and the developmental competence of bovine oocytes, oocyte-granulosa complexes (OGCs) collected from early antral follicles (≤ 1 mm) in ovaries with high (≥ 25) and low (<25) antral follicle counts (AFCs) were used. OGCs derived from different AFC groups were cultured for growth followed by maturation, fertilization and blastocyst formation. V...
متن کاملComposition and morphology of the follicular basal lamina during atresia of bovine antral follicles.
The fate of the follicular basal lamina during atresia was investigated using bovine follicles, in which different follicle phenotypes have been observed. These phenotypes include: healthy follicles with rounded basal granulosa cells with an aligned basal lamina or follicles with columnar basal granulosa cells with a basal lamina of many loops (loopy), and atretic follicles in which either the ...
متن کاملExpression of fibroblast growth factor 13 (Fgf13) mRNA in bovine antral follicles and corpora lutea
Recent studies have suggested a paracrine role for several fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) in the regulation of follicle and luteal development. Fgf13 is a non-secreted FGF that has been previously localized to the developing gonads, but it is not known if it is expressed in the adult ovary. The objective of the present study was to determine the expression pattern of Fgf13 mRNA in the bovine ...
