Low-dose exogenous FSH initiated during the early, mid or late follicular phase can induce multiple dominant follicle development.

This prospective, randomized trial in normo-ovulatory women was designed to test whether administration of low-dose exogenous FSH initiated during the early, mid to late follicular phase can induce multiple dominant follicle development. Forty normal weight women (age 19-35 years, cycle length 25-32 days) participated. A fixed dose (75 IU/day) of recombinant FSH was started on either cycle day ...

Women with consistently or variably elevated early follicular phase FSH.

Sir, We thank Drs El Hakim and Cahil for their interest and reaction to our paper (de Koning et al. 2008). It is true that the highest measured FSH level is the one that makes clinicians aware of the possible low ovarian reserve. It is known that a normal or moderately elevated FSH can still be found in women with low ovarian reserve due to variable FSH levels and possibly variable cohort size....

The follicular phase in pigs: Follicle populations, circulating hormones, follicle factors and oocytes

The predominant pattern of follicle development in pigs is characterized by continuous activation, slow growth to the antral stage, and rapid growth to 4 to 5 mm followed by atresia. The only time that this pattern is broken is when a small portion of the follicle population is selected for ovulation. The mechanisms that regulate the selection of ovulatory follicles are not well understood. How...

Follicular development in heifers infused with follicle-stimulating hormone.

Follicle-stimulating hormone from different species has been used to increase ovulation and calving rates in cattle, injections proving to be most successful when given during the late follicular phase of the oestrous cycle or in combination with progestagens (Willett & Buckner, 1953; Bellows, Anderson & Short 1969). Some investigations have resulted in substantial increases in ovulation and ca...

Ovarian follicular dynamics after cauterization of the dominant follicle in anestrous ewes.

An experiment was conducted to ascertain if follicles could reach ovulatory size after the largest follicle (dominant) has been removed at different times during a progestin treatment in anestrous ewes, and secondly to determine if these new follicles could respond to an hCG-induced ovulation and have similar function as corpora lutea. Mature crossbred sheep (n=44) in anestrous were treated wit...
