Follicle Structure Influences the Availability of Oxygen to the Oocyte in Antral Follicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ability of an oocyte to successfully mature is highly dependent on intrafollicular conditions, including the size and structure of the follicle. Here we present a mathematical model of oxygen transport in the antral follicle. We relate mean oxygen concentration in follicular fluid of bovine follicles to the concentration in the immediate vicinity of the cumulus-oocyte complex (COC). The model predicts that the oxygen levels within the antral follicle are dependent on the size and structure of the follicle and that the mean level of dissolved oxygen in follicular fluid does not necessarily correspond to that reaching the COC.

Background: The fibroblast growth factors (FGF-4) are a group of heparin-binding single chain polypeptides that play a pivotal role in development, cell growth, tissue repairing and transformation. The aim of this study is to improve development and maturation outcome of vitrified mouse pre-antral follicle by adding of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) into medium culture. Materials and Methods: P...

Background: Setting up an in vitro follicle culture system that resembles in vivo ovary condition has high value in research. Additionally, expression evaluation of folliculogenesis involved genes could lead us to the designing of better culture system. Materials and Methods: ovaries of 12-day-old female NMRI mice were removed, 100-130 μm pre-antral follicles were mechanically isolated from fre...

BACKGROUND An alginate-based matrix supports the three-dimensional (3D) architecture of non-human primate follicles and, in the presence of FSH, permits the in vitro development of pre-antral follicles to the small antral stage, including the production of ovarian steroids and paracrine factors. The current study investigated the ability of gonadotrophins, fetuin and oxygen (O₂) to improve prim...
