The life and death of the dominant follicle. [PDF]
Anim Reprod, 2018 Much work has been conducted over the years to determine the major factors that control follicle growth, including the role of FSH, LH and IGF1. These factors permit the dominant follicle to grow while subordinate follicles regress. The dominant follicle enters a phase of growth, and then that growth slows as the follicle reaches maximum size.

Anti-Müllerian hormone promotes pre-antral follicle growth, but inhibits antral follicle maturation and dominant follicle selection in primates. [PDF]
Hum Reprod, 2016 What are the direct effects and physiological role of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) during primate follicular development and function at specific stages of folliculogenesis?AMH actions in the primate ovary may be stage-dependent, directly promoting pre-antral follicle growth while inhibiting antral follicle maturation and dominant follicle selection ...

Follicular Size Threshold for Ovulation Reassessed. Insights from Multiple Ovulating Dairy Cows
Animals, 2022 In Bos. taurus cattle, follicular deviation to dominance begins when the selected ovulatory follicle reaches a mean diameter of 8.5 mm. The dominant follicle acquires the capacity to ovulate when it reaches a diameter of about 10 mm.
