Follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) is an important regulator of follicular development. Some
effects of FSH on ovarian follicles might be enhanced by androgens. The main objectives of …

Previous studies have indicated that androgens may act directly on the ovarian follicles to
regulate their functions. The aim of this study was to localize androgen receptor (AR) in the …

Previous studies have shown that androgen receptor (AR) is expressed in granulosa cells of
healthy, growing ovarian follicles in rats and primates. However, AR expression in the …

We sought to characterize the ovarian expression of mRNAs for the receptors for FSH (FSHr)
and LH (LHr) at the different stages of the estrous cycle of the pig and to localize the receptor …

This study evaluated the expression of FSH receptors (FSHR) in the different stages of goat
follicle development and investigated whether the addition of increasing concentrations of …

Contents This study was designed to reveal the FSHR mRNA and protein expression in the
neonatal porcine ovary and to determine whether maternal administration of antiandrogen …

Follicular recruitment and atresia are important processes associated with ovulation rate in
swine. Follicle-stimulating hormone regulates granulosa cell division, differentiation, and …

Androgen receptor (AR) distribution and developmental regulation in the rat ovary were
examined by semiquantitative immunohistochemistry. Ovarian AR mRNA levels were also …

Among the new antral follicles that develop after ovulation in pigs, the incidence of atresia,
based on granulosa cell apoptosis, increases between Days 5 and 7 of the estrous cycle …

The objective of the present study was to characterize expression of mRNAs encoding FSH
and LH receptors during follicular development and at different stages of the first follicular …
