Regulation of reproduction via tight control of gonadotropin hormone levels. [PDF]
, 2018 Mammalian reproduction is controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. GnRH from the hypothalamus regulates synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins, LH and FSH, which then control steroidogenesis and gametogenesis. In females, serum LH and FSH

Contemporary and Historical Evidence to Suggest that Women’s Preference for Age at Birth of First Child Remains Consistent Across Time [PDF]
, 2014 Women’s ability to reproduce is restricted by menarche and menopause. First children are, however, not typically born until some years after the onset of puberty. Other factors therefore contribute towards this delay. In this context, women’s hips do not

Oogenesis, Folliculogenesis, and Ovulation
, 2022 Oocytes develop within distinct follicles in the cortex of the ovary during development. Prenatal follicles that have been dormant become active and go through progressive development at regular intervals starting in the late fetal period and continuing into maturity.

Extracellular vesicles from endothelial progenitor cells promote thyroid follicle formation
Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2018 Organogenesis is a complex and dynamic process requiring reciprocal communication between different cell types. In the thyroid, thyrocyte progenitors secrete the angiocrine factor, VEGFA, to recruit endothelial cells. In return, endothelial cells promote

Exploration of the role of androgens and adipokines in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome
, 2011 Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the commonest endocrine disorder in women being characterized by reproductive and metabolic abnormalities. Our hypothesis is that overproduction of ovarian androgens during early development is a key factor in the ...

Folliculogenesis and Abnormalities
Journal of Gynecology Research Reviews & ReportsResearch on oocytes and their associated follicles has advanced significantly over the past two decades, shedding light on the fragility of the processes governing their active life. The ovarian follicles and the germ cells within them are crucial to understand conception, growth, and survival mechanisms.
