Intraovarian control of selective follicular growth and induction of oocyte maturation in mammals
نویسنده
چکیده
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, has clarified that cytokines and glycosaminoglycans are involved as exogenous and endogenous factors in ovarian follicular development, atresia, and maturation in mammals. The present article describes our contribution regarding the cytokines and ovarian glycosaminoglycans that act as intraovarian regulators of follicular development and oogenesis, including oocyte maturation, in mammals.

O-31: Follicular Fluid The Best Medium for In Vitro Maturation and In Vitro Fertilization
Background: Induction of in vitro maturation and development of immature oocyte is one of the methods that has been frequently used recently in artificial reproduction techniques and has drawn attention of many investigators. This method is useful especially in women who are affected by cancer and polycystic ovary syndrome. Despite using many types of in vitro media, an appropriate environment ...

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 ...

متن کاملInhibition of premature oocyte maturation: a role for bone morphogenetic protein 15 in zebrafish ovarian follicles.
Bone morphogenetic protein-15 (BMP-15) is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily known to regulate ovarian functions in mammals. Recently, we cloned zebrafish BMP-15 (zfBMP-15) cDNA and demonstrated that it may play a role in oocyte maturation. In this study, we further investigated the role of BMP-15 in zebrafish follicular development and oocyte maturation using an antiserum developed for zfBMP...

Background The hypothesis that the LDA (low-dose-aspirin) could improve ovarian and uterine perfusion induced clinicians to administer it in women undergoing IVF. Unfortunately, no studies have shown significant differences in terms of pregnancy rate among patients treated or untreated with LDA. The absence of proven clinical benefits of LDA supplementation, led us to wonder whether aspirin, ad...
