Protein Palmitoylation in Bovine Ovarian Follicle. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 Protein palmitoylation is a reversible post-translational modification by fatty acids (FA), mainly a palmitate (C16:0). Palmitoylation allows protein shuttling between the plasma membrane and cytosol to regulate protein stability, sorting and signaling activity and its deficiency leads to diseases.

Hyaluronan and proteoglycans in ovarian follicles [PDF]
Human Reproduction Update, 1999 Proteoglycans are macromolecules formed by a protein backbone to which one or more glycosaminoglycan side chains are co-valently attached. They can be secreted by the cells, retained at the cell surface, or stored in intracellular vacuoles. Hyaluronan is an extremely long glycosaminoglycan which, at variance with other glycosaminoglycans, is released ...

Bioengineering the Ovarian Follicle Microenvironment [PDF]
Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2014 Chemo- and radiation therapies used to treat cancer can have the unintended effect of making patients infertile. Clinically established fertility preservation methods, such as egg and embryo cryopreservation, are not applicable to all patients, which has motivated the development of strategies that involve ovarian tissue removal and cryopreservation ...

Maturation of ovarian follicles in the prepubertalgilt [PDF]
Bioscientifica Proceedings, 2020 The processes of follicle development and puberty are closely related, and both are associated with maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Prenatal development of the ovary is independent of gonadotrophic stimulation. Beyond 60 days of age (postnatally), tertiary follicles develop and gonadotrophins begin to influence ovarian follicular

Senataxin: A New Guardian of the Female Germline Important for Delaying Ovarian Aging
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Early decline in ovarian function known as premature ovarian aging (POA) occurs in around 10% of women and is characterized by a markedly reduced ovarian reserve.

Metabolic Cooperation in the Ovarian Follicle
Physiological Research, 2020 Granulosa cells (GCs) are somatic cells essential for establishing and maintaining bi-directional communication with the oocytes. This connection has a profound importance for the delivery of energy substrates, structural components and ions to the maturing oocyte through gap junctions.
