Comparative Aspects of Follicular Development, Follicular and Oocyte Maturation and Ovulation in Cattle and Pigs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes comperatively aspects of oogenesis and folliculogenesis, oocyte and follicular growth in cattle and pigs. Moreover, gonadotropin dependent regulatory processes of the wave like pattern of follicular growth are discussed in both species as well as functional and morphological changes during oocyte maturation. Finally, time dependent processes after oecurrence of spontaneous or GnRH induced LH surge are discussed.

The effect of feeding strategy during the pre-follicular phase on subsequent follicular development in the pig.
In female pigs feeding level has important effects on reproductive performance. This review is focused on the follicular development after low and high feeding levels during the luteal phase in gilts. Although aspects of diet composition seem to have a role in regulating reproductive performance, the most important aspect appears to be the plane of nutrition. Similar effects are described durin...
متن کاملO-26: Association of Follicular Fluid Endocrine Changes with Oocyte Morphology and Quality in PCOS Patients Undergoing Metformin and N-Acetylcysteine Treatment
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common cause of infertility often responsive to treatment with oral ovulation induction agents. PCOS patients are typically characterized by producing an increased number of oocytes that they are often of poor quality, leading to lower fertilization, cleavage and implantation rates. Recently data involve functional associations between endocrine...
متن کاملThe Effects of Progesterone on Oocyte Maturation and Embryo Development
Oocyte maturation and embryo development are controlled by intra-ovarian factors such as steroid hormones. Progesterone (P4) exists in the follicular fluid that contributes to normal mammalian ovarian function and has several critical functions during embryo development and implantation, including endometrial receptivity, embryonic survival during gestation and transformation of the endometrial...
متن کاملMelatonin Impact on In Vitro Development of Mouse Preantral Follicles and Oocyte Maturation
Introduction: Melatonin acts as an indirect antioxidant and is a powerful direct free radical scavenger and direct responses to melatonin in the gonads are detected. This study aims to investigate the influence of different doses of melatonin on preantral follicle development and oogenesis of in vitro cultured mouse ovarian follicles. Materials and Methods: Preantral follicles with diamet...
متن کاملO-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 ...
