چکیده

With a quantitative approach it was possible to characterize the meiosis inducing activities of the ovary and the extra ovarian structures (rete ovarii). While the ovarian inducing capacity rises with age and remains high on days 14 and 15 post partum at the end of the prophase of the first meiotic division, the rete ovarii shows meiosis inducing activity up to day 5 post partum and an inhibitory activity on meiosis onset in the ovary in the 14 and 15 day old animals. The early activity of the rete ovarii seems to be more of a maturing nature on the germ cells in meiosis.

Bilateral ovarian cysts originating from rete ovarii in an African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops).

Ovarian cyst is common incidental finding in humans and many animals and includes follicular cysts, cystic rete ovarii and mesonephric duct cysts. Ovarian cyst is often associated with reproductive disorders in humans and animals. We found accidentally bilateral cystic masses in ovaries in an African green monkey. Grossly, the left and right ovarian cystic masses were single unilocular cystic s...

Cystadenofibroma of the rete ovarii: a case report with review of literature

The rete ovarii (RO), the homolog of the rete testis (RT), is present in the hilus of all ovaries. It is composed of irregularly anastomosing tubules lined by flat, cuboidal or columnar non-ciliated cells with scanty eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm. Some authors state that the RO contains ciliated cells. The tubules generally lack a basement membrane, as judged by the absence of PAS staining be...

Squamous metaplasia of the rete ovarii in a Zebu cow

BACKGROUND Stratified keratinizing squamous epithelium in the ovary has been associated with the diagnosis of ovarian teratoma in cows. Recently, the diagnosis of "epidermoid cyst" has been proposed. A case of squamous metaplasia of the rete ovarii in a Zebu cow is described in this report. CASE PRESENTATION A crossbreed Zebu cow had both ovaries enlarged with multiple cysts. Most cysts were ...

O-20: Slow-Freezing-Induced Changes of Birefringent Structures in Human Oocytes Are Related to Responsiveness to Ovulation Induction

Background: The slow-freezing method is one of the most popular techniques to freeze human oocytes and it is also used in routine in vitro-fertilization (IVF) programs, particularly in those countries where embryo freezing is not allowed. Slow-freezing damages some of the structures of the egg, among which the meiotic spindle (MS) and the zona pellucida (ZP). Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) pe...

Ovarian Polycystic Induction with Morphine in Wistar Rat

Background and Objective: The effect of opioids on the reproductive system has been studied as an attractive research field. In this study, the effect of morphine as an analgesic opioid was evaluated on the ovarian polycystic induction in the rat. Materials & Methods: In this study, 24 female virgin Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g were injected with morphine (1-10 mg/kg/day) for 9 days. Control ...
