Effect of different cryoprotectants on the structural preservation of follicles in frozen zebu bovine (Bos indicus) ovarian tissue [PDF]
Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue is a new and promising technique for germ-line storage. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of four cryoprotectants (at two concentrations each) on the preservation of zebu bovine preantral follicles ...

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 ...

Cytomolecular and In Vitro Toxicity Studies on Bisphenol A Effect on Ovine Granulosa Cells
Bisphenol A (BPA), an organic environment chemical, has extensive presence in consumer goods and food/feed items. The present study aimed to explore how BPA influenced the viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and steroidogenic activity of ovine ovarian granulosa cells (GCs).

Ovarian features in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) fawns and does.
The knowledge about ovarian reserve is essential to determine the reproductive potential and to improve the methods of fertility control for overpopulated species, such as white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The goal of this study was to evaluate

RFRP3 influences basal lamina degradation, cellular death, and progesterone secretion in cultured preantral ovarian follicles from the domestic cat. [PDF]
The hypothalamic neuropeptide RFRP3 can suppress hypothalamic GnRH neuron activation and inhibit gonadotropin release from the anterior pituitary. RFRP3 is also produced locally in the ovary and can inhibit steroidogenesis and follicle development in ...

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

ABSTRACT During recent decades a myriad of approaches have emerged for generating surrogate gametes or achieving in vitro gametogenesis (IVG). The most recent approaches to IVG include the development of increasingly complex culture systems, use of companion cells combined with germ line cells in two‐ or three‐dimensional configurations, derivation of ...

There is an increasing recognition that vitamin D plays important roles in female reproduction. Recent studies demonstrated that 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3), the biologically active form of vitamin D, improved ovarian follicle survival and growth in ...

The Regulation of Apoptosis in Preantral Ovarian Follicles
Less than 1% of ovarian follicles ever mature to ovulation. The remainder undergo atretic degeneration via apoptosis during development. Though the regulation of antral and preovulatory survival has been studied for many years, very little is known about the regulation of survival and development of preantral follicles.
