During the last decade, involvement of growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factors
(IGFs) and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) in ovarian folliculogenesis has been extensively …

During the last 2 decades, research on in vitro preantral follicle growth and oocyte
maturation has delivered fascinating advances concerning the knowledge of processes …

Sheep preantral follicles (PFs) measuring 250–400 μm in diameter were cultured for six
days in serum-free media supplemented differently with growth factors and hormones …

The present investigation attempts to improve the frequency of in vitro maturation of oocytes
by culturing small (150–250μm) and large (> 250–400μm) preantral follicles (PFs) of sheep …

The influence of human or ovine leptin on in vitro culture of preantral follicles (PFs) isolated
from sheep ovaries was investigated. Among the 12 different concentrations (0–1000 ng/mL) …

The aim of the present study was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) collagen gel culture
system for the in vitro growth and survival of buffalo preantral follicles with or without growth …

To test the hypothesis that the poor development of the oocytes in cultured ovarian follicles
of mammals is due to aberrant expression of developmentally important genes, quantitative …

Preantral follicles (PFs) form a far larger oocyte reservoir (∼ 90% of the follicular population)
than antral follicles. Several laboratories have focussed efforts on cryopreservation and in …

Our aim was to verify the steady-state level of epidermal growth factor (EGF) mRNA in goat
follicles at various developmental stages and to investigate the influence of EGF on the …

A total of 2792 preantral follicles (PFs') isolated from 750 ovaries of sheep were cultured in
four different experiments. The efficacy of three commercially available culture media viz …
