Luteinizing hormone receptor knockout mouse: What has it taught us?
Abstract Luteinizing hormone (LH), along with its agonist choriongonadotropin (hCG) in humans, is the key hormone responsible for the tropic regulation of the gonadal function. LH and hCG act through their cognate receptor, the luteinizing hormone/choriongonadotropin receptor (LHCGR; more appropriately LHR in rodents lacking CG), located in the testis ...

Comparative Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Atlas Reveals the Genetic Regulation of Reproductive Traits
A cross‐species single‐cell transcriptomic atlas of reproductive and central nervous system tissues from sheep and humans reveals conserved cellular programs and regulatory networks that regulated fertility. Integration with GWAS for sheep lifetime average litter size identifies UNC5–SLIT–BMP signaling as a core pathway coordinating neuroendocrine ...

Chamomile contains different bioactive agents such as flavonoids and phytosterols with potential anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, antispasmodic, and antitumor characteristics. According to our findings, animal studies have demonstrated the potential benefits of Chamomile consumption in the treatment of PCOS. In contrast, human studies yielded

Inhibin A and B secretion in mouse preantral follicle culture [PDF]
Conditioned media from single mouse ovarian follicles cultured from the early preantral stage up to complete maturity were analysed for different immunoreactive inhibin forms. The inhibin assays measured (i) alpha-specific inhibin, as represented by a mix of 32 and and 57 kDa inhibins, inhibin precursors, alpha-subunit and its precursors; (ii) dimeric ...

Zinc Deficiency Disrupts Germ Cell Nest Breakdown During In Vitro Ovary Culture
ABSTRACT In mammals, the size of the non‐renewable primordial follicle pool is established before or soon after birth. Primordial follicles, each composed of a single oocyte surrounded by somatic cells, are the only source of gametes during the entire reproductive lifespan of the female.

Morphological Study of Isolated Ovarian Preantral Follicles Using Fibrin Gel Plus Platelet Lysate after Subcutaneous Transplantation [PDF]
Objective: Ovarian and follicle transplantation may preserve fertility in young cancer survivors. In this study, we have transplanted preantral follicles using fibrin gel as a carrier and fibrin gel supplemented with platelet lysate (PL) as a rich ...

Isolation and characterization of preantral follicles from foetal bovine ovaries [PDF]
A simple, mechanical method is described for the isolation of preantral follicles from bovine foetuses of 220-280 days of gestation. On average, 2918 + 621 (s.d.) preantral follicles were isolated per ovary. The isolated preantral follicles were characterized on the basis of the morphological appearance of the surrounding granulosa cells, the number of
