We investigated the effects of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) on the morphology and
follicular activation of ovine preantral follicles cultured in situ and whether the …

The aim of this study was to investigate the protein and mRNA expression levels of IGF-I and
the effects of IGF-I on preantral follicle survival and development, using an in vitro goat …

This study aimed to determine the effect of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on early antral
bovine follicular development, and the expression of insulin-like growth factor-binding …

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 …

Contents This study aimed at assessing the effect of different concentrations of the growth
factor similar to insulin 1 (IGF‐1) in the development, survival and ultrastructure of the bovine …

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 …

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 …

The objectives were to quantify insulin-like growth factor receptor-1 (IGFR-1) mRNA in
preantral follicles on Days 0 and 18 of in vitro culture in the presence or absence of FSH …

Studies addressing the effects of supraphysiological levels of IGF-1 on oocyte
developmental competence are relevant for unravelling conditions resulting in high …

Oocyte maturation is critical for successful fertilization and pregnancy. The mechanism
underlying the control of this complex process remain relatively unknown, and even more so …
