The mammalian ovary is an extremely dynamic organ in which a large majority of follicles
are effectively eliminated throughout their reproductive life. Due to the numerous efforts of …

Flavonoids are nearly ubiquitous in plants and are recognized as the pigments responsible
for the colors of leaves, especially in autumn. They are rich in seeds, citrus fruits, olive oil …

Mammalian ovaries consist of follicles as basic functional units. The total number of ovarian
follicles is determined early in life, and the depletion of this pool leads to reproductive …

I. Introduction IN THE adult ovary, folliculogenesis starts when follicles leave the pool of
resting follicles (RF) to enter the growth phase. From there, the early growing follicle …

Theca cells function in a diverse range of necessary roles during folliculogenesis; to
synthesize androgens, provide crosstalk with granulosa cells and oocytes during …

The flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds found as integral components of the human
diet. They are universally present as constituents of flowering plants, particularly of food …

This review exposes the follicular abnormalities responsible for anovulation in polycystic
ovary syndrome (PCOS). The putative pathophysiological explanations involve the principal …

The mammalian placenta is the organ through which respiratory gases, nutrients, and
wastes are exchanged between the maternal and fetal systems. Thus, transplacental …

The assembly of the primordial follicles early in ovarian development and the subsequent
development and transition of the primordial follicle to the primary follicle are critical …

▪ Abstract The majority of ovarian follicles undergo atresia, a hormonally controlled apoptotic
process. Monitoring apoptotic DNA fragmentation provides a quantitative and sensitive …
