Exosomal and Non-Exosomal Transport of Extra-Cellular microRNAs in Follicular Fluid: Implications for Bovine Oocyte Developmental Competence. [PDF]
Cell-cell communication within the follicle involves many signaling molecules, and this process may be mediated by secretion and uptake of exosomes that contain several bioactive molecules including extra-cellular miRNAs.

Paraoxonase activities in human follicular fluid: role in follicular maturation [PDF]
The paraoxonases (PONs) are antioxidant enzymes associated with beneficial effects against several diseases and some exposures. Little is known, however, about the role of PONs in human reproduction. This work was conducted to investigate whether any association existed between the activities of the PON enzymes (1, 2, and 3) with the follicular size ...
