Mouse serum facilitates the expansion of the follicular cavity regardless of the estrous cycle phase [PDF]
Objective In investigating the effect of alcohol intake on the in vitro development of preantral follicles, physiological differences across estrous cycle phases in mice probably affect the results; therefore, it is necessary to determine whether serum ...

Cryopreservation and characterization of canine preantral follicles.
The aim of this study was to define the population, morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of bitch preantral follicles (PAFs) and to compare the effects on the morphology of PAF of two cryopreservation techniques - slow freezing (SF) and vitrification (V) - of bitches' ovarian tissue. The average population (number per ovary) of PAFs was 48,

-growth and Gene Expression of Porcine Preantral Follicles Retrieved by Different Protocols [PDF]
This study was conducted to determine how the isolation method of the porcine preantral follicles influenced the following follicular growth in vitro. Mechanical and enzymatical isolations were used for retrieving the follicles from prepubertal porcine ...

Ultrastructure and viability of isolated bovine preantral follicles [PDF]
Techniques for the isolation of ovarian follicles and maturation of oocytes in vitro have enormous reproductive potential. Preservation of normal tissue function is vital. This study emphasizes the ultrastructure and viability of mechanically isolated bovine small (diameter 40-100 microm) preantral and large (140-450 microm) preantral/early antral ...
