Growth Differentiation Factor 9 Supplementation Restores the Lipopolysaccharide‐Induced Negative Effects on Bovine Oocyte Developmental Competence

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 93, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) plays a key role in enhancing developmental competence and blastocyst yield during in vitro maturation (IVM). This study investigated whether GDF9 could counteract the harmful effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a gram‐negative bacterial component, on bovine in vitro embryo production, while also ...

Ultrastructural features of agouti (Dasyprocta aguti) preantral follicles cryopreserved using dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol and propanediol [PDF]

, 2012
The objective was to develop an efficient protocol for cryopreservation of agouti (Dasyprocta aguti) ovarian tissue. Agouti ovarian fragments were placed, for 10 min, in a solution containing MEM and fetal bovine serum plus 1.5 M dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)

FOLLICLE POPULATIONS IN MARE OVARIES: FROM PREANTRAL TO PREOVULATORY FOLLICLES

Enciclopédia Biosfera, 2015
The purpose of this study was to describe morphological and quantitative aspects of preantral and antral follicles in the equine ovary. Six ovaries were collected from necropsied mares and sliced lengthwise parallel to the ovulation fossa. The slices were fixed and processed for histological evaluation under light microscopy.

Expressions of Kisspeptin System and Ki‐67 in the Reproductive Tissues of Cyclic Bitches

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Kisspeptin is a peptide that plays a pivotal role in the central regulation of gonadotropins. It is regarded as a key regulator of reproductive processes, including follicular and luteal development and endometrial remodelling. The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of KISS1, its receptor KISS1R and the proliferation ...

Ovarian features in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) fawns and does.

PLoS ONE, 2017
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

IGF‐1 Deficiency Serves as an Integrated Biomarker Pathogenic Driver and Predictor in Poor Ovarian Response

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
IGF‐1 deficiency underlies poor ovarian response (POR), as reduced levels in follicular fluid and granulosa cells impair antral follicle formation and compromise reproductive outcomes. Including IGF‐1 as a biomarker significantly enhances the accuracy of models predicting both PORrisk and pregnancy success.

Vitamin D3 Regulates Follicular Development and Intrafollicular Vitamin D Biosynthesis and Signaling in the Primate Ovary

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
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 ...

Isolation and characterization of preantral follicles from foetal bovine ovaries [PDF]

Veterinary Quarterly, 1994
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
