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 …

Proper functioning of the ovary is critical to maintain fertility and overall health, and ovarian

receptors in the ovary C. Role of IGFs in ovulatory function and steroidogenesis

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

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays a central role in the neuroendocrine
regulation of growth in all vertebrates. Evidence from studies in a variety of vertebrate …

Proper physiological function of the ovaries is very important for the entire female
reproductive system and overall health. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as …

The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), IGF-I and IGF-II, comprise a conserved pair of secreted
