ovarian follicle types and produced during folliculogenesis on porcine oviductal epithelial …

In mammalian reproduction, folic acid in the follicle environment has antioxidant properties
that can protect cells against oxidative stress. Dietary supplementation of folic acid affects …

The morphological and biochemical modification of oviductal epithelial cells (OECs) belongs

Background The mammalian oviduct provides the optimal environment for gamete
maturation including sperm capacitation, fertilization, and development of the early embryo …

It is vital that improvements are made to current culture environments because in vitro
culture systems are suboptimal compared with in vivo. A previous transcriptional profiling …

Previous studies have shown that theca and granulosa cell layers in follicles do not play the
same roles in mammals and birds, especially regarding the synthesis of estrogen. The …

The signals that regulate activation, a key transition in ovarian follicular development, are
still not well understood, especially in nonrodent species. To gain insight into the regulation …
