The effect of follicular fluid hormones on oocyte recovery after ovarian stimulation: FSH level predicts oocyte recovery [PDF]
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2009 Background Ovarian stimulation for assisted reproductive technology (ART) overcomes the physiologic process to develop a single dominant follicle. However, following stimulation, egg recovery rates are not 100%.

Oocyte Competence Biomarkers Associated With Oocyte Maturation: A Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Oocyte developmental competence is one of the determining factors that influence the outcomes of an IVF cycle regarding the ability of a female gamete to reach maturation, be fertilized, and uphold an embryonic development up until the blastocyst stage ...

DNA methylation mechanisms in the maturing and ageing oocyte [PDF]
Epigenetics & ChromatinOocyte maturation involves both nuclear and cytoplasmic processes that are critical for the acquisition of oocyte competence. Granulosa cells, surrounding the oocyte, play a pivotal role in the maturation process, with mechanisms such as cAMP signaling ...
