چکیده

Effect of co-culture of buffalo preantral follicles with different somatic cells, i.e. cumulus cells, granulosa cells, Ovarian Mesenchymal Cells (OMC) and Oviductal Epithelial Cells (OEC) was studied. Large preantral follicles were isolated by microdissecting the trypsin (1%) digested ovarian cortical slices. Cumulus cells were isolated by repeated pipetting of oocytes, granulosa cells were isolated by aspirating from punctured preantral follicles and OMC were isolated from ovarian cortex by scraping the cortical slices and passing through 20 μ filter. In-group 1, preantral follicles were cultured only in standard culture medium (control) without somatic cells for 80 days. Coculturing of preantral follicles were done with cumulus cells (group 2), granulosa cells (group 3), OMC (group 4) and OEC (group 5) for 80 days. The results indicated that preantral follicles which were co-cultured with cumulus cells, granulosa cells and OMC had a better development and survivability in vitro as compared to control and those co-culture with OEC (group 5).

Objective In the present study, the effects of alginate (ALG) concentration and ovarian cells (OCs) on the development and function of follicles were simultaneously evaluated. MaterialsAndMethods In the first step, preantral follicles (100-130 µm in diameter) were mechanically isolated from the ovaries of 2-week-old NMRI mice, encapsulated in the absence or presence of OCs in 0.5, 0.75 and 1% A...

Follicle and oocyte growth is under the control of systemic gonadotropins and various local intraovarian factors. The present study was undertaken to examine the efficacy of peptide(s) isolated from ovine follicular fluid on preantral and antral follicles, oocytes, cumulus and granulosa cells, and oviductal epithelial cell growth in vitro in a heterologous species (Bubalus bubalis). Follicular ...

Ultrastructure and viability of isolated bovine preantral follicles.

Techniques for the isolation of ovarian follicles and maturation of oocytes in vitro have enormous reproductive potential. Preservation of normal tissue function is vital. This study emphasizes the ultrastructure and viability of mechanically isolated bovine small (diameter 40-100 microm) preantral and large (140-450 microm) preantral/early antral follicles. Viability studies were performed for...
