The present study was designed to assess the relationship between gap junctions and the
maturation of a clock system in rat granulosa cells stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone …

The circadian clock is responsible for the generation of circadian rhythms in hormonal
secretion and metabolism. These peripheral clocks could be reset by various cues in order …

The circadian clock, regulating hormonal secretion and metabolisms in accordance with the
environmental light–dark cycle, resides in almost all peripheral tissues as well as in the …

The involvement of FSH and triiodothyronine (T3) in circadian clocks was investigated using
immature granulosa cells of ovaries during the progress of cell maturation. Granulosa cells …

Ovarian development is related to cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of
granulosa cells and luteal cells under the control of various modulators, including follicle …

Ovarian circadian oscillators have been implicated in the reproductive processes of
mammals. However, there are few reports regarding the detection of ovarian clock …

Circadian Clock genes are associated with the estrous cycle in female animals. Treatment
with Per2 and Clock siRNAs decreased the number of granulosa cells and LHr expression …

Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior are known to be influenced by the estrous
cycle in female rodents. The clock genes responsible for the generation of circadian …

Circadian rhythms are generated by endogenous clocks in the central brain oscillator, the
suprachiasmatic nucleus, and peripheral tissues. The molecular basis for the circadian clock …

The center for circadian rhythms in mammals is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the
hypothalamus, composed of single cell circadian oscillators driven by a transcriptional …
