The growing follicles develop from a reserve of primordial follicles constituted early in life.
From this pre-established reserve, a second ovarian reserve is formed, which consists of …

The mechanism whereby the inherently high variation in ovary size and the total number of
high-quality oocytes in ovaries (ovarian reserve) impact on ovarian function and fertility …

The total number of ovarian follicles≥ 3mm in diameter (antral follicle count, AFC) during
follicular waves varies among cattle of similar age, but AFC is highly repeatable within …

Severe prenatal undernutrition is usually associated with low birth weights in offspring and
disorders including hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. Whether alterations in maternal …

The objectives of this study were to identify factors associated with concentrations of anti-
Müllerian hormone (AMH) in plasma of dairy cows and to investigate the relationships …

In mammals, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) expression is detected in the granulosa cells of
all growing follicles and is highest in healthy small antral follicles, which contribute most …

Contents In Bos taurus cattle, antimullerian hormone (AMH) has been demonstrated to have
a high degree of correlation with ovarian antral follicle count and the number of healthy …

Depletion of the ovarian reserve is associated with reproductive senescence in mammalian
females, and there is a positive relationship between the size of the ovarian reserve and the …

Reliable biomarkers predictive of productive herd life (time in herd after birth of first calf)
have heretofore not been discovered in dairy cattle. However, circulating concentrations of …

Low progesterone concentrations and diminished ovarian reserves (total number of healthy
oocytes) during reproductive cycles are linked to infertility in single-ovulating species like …
