Hormone-dependent bacterial growth, persistence and biofilm formation--a pilot study investigating human follicular fluid collected during IVF cycles. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Human follicular fluid, considered sterile, is aspirated as part of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. However, it is easily contaminated by the trans-vaginal collection route and little information exists in its potential to support the growth of ...

Capillary electrophoresis of human follicular fluid [PDF]

Journal of Chromatography B, 2009
Some of the major serum proteins that are also found in follicular fluid, including transferrin, alpha-macroglobulin and albumin, are thought to play a role in oocyte maturation. This study set out to identify proteins in human follicular fluid by capillary zone electrophoresis and to investigate their relationship to follicular/oocyte maturity and ...

The effects of the human oocyte vestments and follicular fluid on spermatozoa [PDF]

, 2012
Our knowledge of the released human ovulatory components, the cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) and follicular fluid, and their physiological effects on spermatozoa and roles in fertilisation remain poorly characterised.

Gonadotrophin stimulation reduces follicular fluid hormone concentrations and disrupts their quantitative association with cumulus cell mRNA. [PDF]

, 2022
RESEARCH QUESTION Do follicular fluid hormone concentrations and the mRNA expression of LHCG, FSH and androgen receptors, aromatase and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in cumulus granulosa cells differ in naturally matured and stimulated follicles ...

Supplemental Nicotinic Acid Elevates NAD⁺ Precursors in the Follicular Fluid of Mares

Animals, 2022
A deficiency in NAD+ has previously been linked with increased occurrences of congenital abnormalities and embryonic death in humans and mice. Early embryonic death is a major factor involved in pregnancy loss in mares, and very little is known regarding

Metabolite abundance in bovine preovulatory follicular fluid is influenced by follicle developmental progression post estrous onset in cattle

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Introduction: Preovulatory follicle response to the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge leads to metabolic, molecular, and functional changes in the oocyte and somatic follicular cells from the onset of estrus to ovulation.

An unexpected guest in follicular fluid [PDF]

Human Reproduction, 1996
Parasitic infection as the only or concomitant cause of infertility in Caucasian women is rare. A parasitic infection may also present itself quite unexpectedly as a coincidental finding as shown with this case report. Moving microfilariae of Mansonella perstans were found in the aspirated follicular fluid of a patient who underwent in-vitro ...

FOLLICULAR FLUID [PDF]

Reproduction, 1974
Follicular fluid is composed partly of secretions from the follicle, and partly of exudates from plasma. Its composition reflects changes in the secretory processes of the granulosa layer and theca interna, and alterations in the components of plasma due to physiological or pathological processes.

Hyaluronan in follicular fluids and fertilization of oocytes [PDF]

Fertility and Sterility, 2000
To determine the concentrations of hyaluronan, E(2), and progesterone in follicular fluids (FFs) and the incidence of apoptotic granulosa cells. Also, to examine the relationship between the concentration of hyaluronan and follicular steroids, the incidence of apoptotic cells, and the fertilizability of the oocyte in the same follicle.Samples of 130 ...
