Assembly of the Inner Perivitelline Layer, a Homo log of the Mammalian Zona Pellucida: An Immunohistochemical and Ultrastructural Study [PDF]
, 2011 The avian inner perivitelline layer (IPVL), a homologous structure to the mammalian zona pellucida, is deposited between the granulosa cells and the oocyte cell membrane during folliculogenesis. The glycoprotein meshwork of the IPVL forms a 3-dimensional

Progesterone receptor-mediated effects on apoptosis in periovulatory granulosa cells [PDF]
, 2006 The most common fate of developing ovarian follicles is demise due to a process known as atresia. Regulation of atresia is dependent on the developmental stage of the follicles, resulting in a continuous reduction of the number of follicles as they ...

Paracrine effects of oocyte secreted factors and stem cell factor on porcine granulosa and theca cells in vitro [PDF]
, 2003 Oocyte control of granulosa and theca cell function may be mediated by several growth factors via a local feedback loop(s) between these cell types. This study examined both the role of oocyte-secreted factors on granulosa and thecal cells, cultured ...

Lipopolysaccharide alters CEBPβ signaling and reduces estradiol production in bovine granulosa cells
CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2022 Background Bacterial infection of the uterus in postpartum dairy cows limits ovarian follicle growth, reduces blood estradiol concentrations, and leads to accumulation of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in ovarian follicular fluid.

Extraovarian Granulosa Cell Tumor
Yonsei Medical Journal, 2001 A 54-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of postcoital bleeding. Sonography of the abdomen showed a 8.2 x 8.9 cm-sized solid heterogeneous mass occupying the cul-de-sac, which appeared to be in no way connected with the ovary. On exploratory laparotomy, the tumor mass protruded from the posterolateral retroperitoneum of the pelvic ...

The effects of ovarian enzyme modulators on folliculogenesis and cyst development in the porcine ovary. [PDF]
, 2007 The first aim of the research conducted as part of this thesis was to investigate the expression and activities of 110HSD enzymes in porcine mural granulosa cells and COCs from small, medium and large antral follicles, as well as from ovarian cysts. Both
