Control of oocyte growth and maturation by follicular cells and molecules present in follicular fluid. A review.
The aim of this review is to summarize the interactions between the oocyte and its surrounding granulosa cells which are involved in the control of oocyte growth or apoptosis as well as those playing a key role in the ability of the oocyte to undergo nuclear (resumption as meiosis to reach the MII stage) or cytoplasmic maturation (ability to fertilize and develop to the blastocyst stage). The r...
متن کاملDynamics of human follicular growth and in-vitro oocyte maturation.
The physiological trigger for meiotic resumption in the human oocyte is the surge of luteinizing hormone, but it can also occur spontaneously if oocytes are released from antral follicles and cultured in vitro. The development of novel techniques for the culture of murine oocytes has raised the possibility of growing human oocytes to maturity in vitro. Such a system could open the door to a num...
متن کاملFollicular Development and Oocyte Growth
Follicular development begins as early as the fourth month of fetal life [1]. At that time, the primordial germ cells (PGCs) have migrated from the yolk sac endoderm to the gonadal ridge, undergoing mitotic divisions. PGCs are called oogonia once they reach the gonads, then the oogonia enter the first meiotic division and become primary oocytes. Somatic cells originating from the primitive gona...
متن کاملIntraovarian control of selective follicular growth and induction of oocyte maturation in mammals
In newborn mammals, most of the germ cell population rests in a pool of quiescent small follicles in the ovaries. Regularly throughout adulthood, a small percentage of these oocytes and follicles grows to a certain stage of development and then either degenerates or matures and ovulates. This entire process is under both exogenous and endogenous control. Recent work, including my laboratory's, ...
متن کاملComparative Aspects of Follicular Development, Follicular and Oocyte Maturation and Ovulation in Cattle and Pigs
The paper describes comperatively aspects of oogenesis and folliculogenesis, oocyte and follicular growth in cattle and pigs. Moreover, gonadotropin dependent regulatory processes of the wave like pattern of follicular growth are discussed in both species as well as functional and morphological changes during oocyte maturation. Finally, time dependent processes after oecurrence of spontaneous o...
