Multivesicular Structures in Proliferating Fibroblasts of Rabbit Ovarian Follicles during Ovulation

چکیده

During ovulation and luteinization in mammals a portion of the ovarian tissue undergoes extensive remodeling. The thecal framework of a mature follicle is degraded and disrupted as the ovum is released. Immediately following ovulation the fibroblasts rapidly undergo functional reorientation (a) to initiate healing at the point of rupture and (b) to meet the changing requirements for support of the proliferating lutein cells . These features make the ovulating follicle a useful model for studying collagen resorption and synthesis . Prior to ovulation in the rabbit the follicle wall loses tensile strength (1), and the dense collagenous tissue in the thecal layers dissociates (2) . Recent data reveal that follicular fibroblasts produce multivesicular structures which protrude from the cell surface and appear to digest the ground substance surrounding them .'

P-73: Morphological and Histochemical Detection of Proliferating Cells in Oovarian Follicle induced by Anticancer Drug Study

Background: Infertility problem affect more than 15% of young couples in different societies. One of the known causes of ovulation disorder is chemotherapy in patients with cancer. This side effect may last from ten years up to the end of the life. Since anticancer drugs are mainly insert their effect through decreasing of cell proliferation, the aim of the present study is to investigate, anti...

Quantitation of nexus junctions in the granulosa cell layer of rabbit ovarian follicles during ovulation

Electron microscopy was used in a semi-quantitative study to determine changes in the abundance and size of surface nexuses and changes in the abundance of interiorized nexuses in growing and mature ovarian follicles during the ovulatory process. Mature follicles contain larger granulosa cells than follicles in the early stage of antral formation. Also, the granulosa cells of mature follicles h...

Considering the importance of this stage and the incidence of treatment failures, much effort has been made to anticipate in some way the responses of ovary to different protocols of ovulation stimulation. Some of the authentic procedure in determination of ovary response to ovulation stimulat...

Fraction of proliferating cells in granulosa during terminal follicular development in high and low prolific sheep breeds.

During terminal development of antral follicles, granulosa cells progressively lose their proliferative activity. Romanov (ovulation rate = 3) and Ile-de-France (ovulation rate = 1) breeds of sheep were compared for fractions of proliferating granulosa cells, determined by in vitro continuous [3H] thymidine labelling. In both breeds, the fraction of proliferating cells decreased with increasing...
