Follicular fluid responds endothermically to aqueous dilution.
BACKGROUND Studies suggest that ovarian follicles are cooler than their surrounding tissues. The mechanism of this remarkable phenomenon is unclear. We postulate that endothermic reactions accompany the growth-associated hydration of follicular fluid. METHODS We performed two types of experiment, using human and animal follicular fluids. In the first, saline (50 microl) was injected into foll...
متن کاملVascular endothelium responds to fluid shear stress gradients.
In vitro investigations of the responses of vascular endothelium to fluid shear stress have typically been conducted under conditions where the time-mean shear stress is uniform. In contrast, the in vitro experiments reported here have re-created the large gradients in surface fluid shear stress found near arterial branches in vivo; specifically, we have produced a disturbed-flow region that in...
متن کاملthe influence of corpus luteum on follicular fluid composition from different size follicles and their relationship to serum concentrations in sanjabi ewes
the aim of the present study was to determine the in?uence of presence or absence of corpus luteum (cl) on hormonal and metabolites composition of follicular ?uid (ff) harvested from different sized follicles and its relationship with blood serum concentrations in sanjabi ewes. ovaries and blood samples were collected from 60 clinically healthy adult ewes (sanjabi breed) 1–3 years of age in dio...
Capillary electrophoresis of human follicular fluid.
Some of the major serum proteins that are also found in follicular fluid, including transferrin, alpha-macroglobulin and albumin, are thought to play a role in oocyte maturation. This study set out to identify proteins in human follicular fluid by capillary zone electrophoresis and to investigate their relationship to follicular/oocyte maturity and fertility outcome. 176 individual follicular f...
متن کاملFollicular fluid markers of oocyte developmental potential.
BACKGROUND Concentrations of certain substances in follicular fluid (FF) are related to fertilization outcome and early post-fertilization development. The study aim was to identify FF markers with which to predict embryo implantation potential. METHODS Concentrations of selected hormones, cytokines and growth factors in individual FF samples obtained during assisted reproduction treatment we...
