The present study shows that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and FSH receptor (FSHR)
mRNAs are selectively coexpressed in a subset of healthy-appearing follicles in murine …

Context: IGF-2 is highly expressed in the granulosa cells of human dominant ovarian
follicles; however, little is known about the regulation of the IGF-2 gene or the interaction of …

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of insulin‐like growth factor (IGF‐I) on
the development of cultured rat pre‐antral follicles. Pre‐antral follicles with a diameter …

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is an essential component of the intraovarian
mechanisms involved in the regulation of follicle growth and corpus luteum function …

Over the past 20 years, the expression, signaling mechanisms, and roles of members of the
insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family (ligands, receptors, binding proteins, and binding …

This work is concerned with the role of insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-2
and-4 in the regulation of IGF bioactivity in bovine follicles during the development of …

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of regulation of IGF-I bioavailability on
preantral follicle development in vitro. Bovine preantral follicles were cultured for 6 days in …

Background The process of follicle development is tightly regulated by pituitary
gonadotropins (follicle‐stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) and …

Contents The aim of the present paper is to make a comparative study of the expression of
the elements of the insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) system in different mammalian species …

IGFs regulate gonadotrophin-stimulated proliferation and differentiation of granulosa and
theca cells in vitro. However, the detailed pattern of mRNA expression of IGFs in bovine …
