Role of oestradiol in growth of follicles and follicle deviation in heifers [PDF]
Reproduction, 2003 Follicle deviation is characterized by continued growth of the largest (developing dominant) follicle and reduced growth of the smaller (subordinate) follicles. The aim of the present study was to test the following hypotheses: (1). oestradiol contributes to the depression of circulating FSH encompassing follicle deviation and (2).

Leptin receptor in the chicken ovary: potential involvement in ovarian dysfunction of ad libitum-fed broiler breeder hens [PDF]
, 2004 In hens, the ovarian follicles committed to ovulation are arranged in an ordered follicular hierarchy. In standard broiler breeders hens genetically selected for high growth rate the reproductive function is clearly dysfunctional.

Alopecia areata: a multifactorial autoimmune condition [PDF]
, 2019 Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that results in non-scarring hair loss, and it is clinically characterised by small patches of baldness on the scalp and/or around the body. It can later progress to total loss of scalp hair (Alopecia totalis) and/

Estrogen Actions on Follicle Formation and Early Follicle Development1 [PDF]
Biology of Reproduction, 2004 Estradiol-17beta (E(2)) affects late follicular development, whereas primordial follicle differentiation and early activation are believed to be independent of E(2). To test this hypothesis we compared numbers of primordial and primary follicles in wild-type and E(2)-deficient, aromatase knockout (ArKO) mice, and the immunohistochemical staining or ...

The spatiotemporal expression pattern of the bone morphogenetic protein family in rat ovary cell types during the estrous cycle. [PDF]
, 2003 In the mammalian ovary, great interest in the expression and function of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family has been recently generated from evidence of their critical role in determining folliculogenesis and female fertility.
