The relationship between dominant follicle development and clinical outcomes of hormone replacement therapy-frozen embryo transfer: a retrospective clinical study [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Research questionHormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the most used endometrial preparation protocols for frozen embryo transfer (FET) due to the convenience of its administration and stability of pregnancy outcomes.

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.

The dominant follicle: the final frontier in bovine oocyte development. [PDF]

Anim Reprod
Abstract The acquisition of oocyte competence in cattle, encompassing both cytoplasmic and nuclear maturation, is essential for successful fertilization and embryonic development. This competence is progressively achieved during the latter stages of the oocyte growth phase and completed within the dominant follicle (DF).

Hallmarks of Human Small Antral Follicle Development: Implications for Regulation of Ovarian Steroidogenesis and Selection of the Dominant Follicle [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Regulation of human ovarian steroidogenesis differs from other species and precise knowledge on how human small antral follicles (hSAF) develop and acquire competence for continued growth and steroid output is still incomplete.
