· Follicular phase. The follicular phase (or proliferative phase) is the first phase of the ovarian cycle it begins with the first day of the menstrual cycle and ends with ovulation . The duration of this phase is on average 14 days, but it can also vary significantly from woman to woman and from cycle to cycle vice versa, the next phase of
Although enormous progress has been made in understanding the events and regulation of the later stages of ovarian follicular development, the early stages of development, to a large extent and particularly in large mammals, remain a mystery. Mechanisms that regulate the initiation of follicular growth (follicle activation) and the ensuing growth and differentiation of preantral follicles are
· Preantral follicular development can be divided into three stages activation of primordial follicles, the primary to secondary follicle transition, and the development
The mature follicle produces a secondary oocyte within it and ruptures at the time of ovulation to release it. The main stages in follicular development are Primary follicle. Secondary follicle. Tertiary follicle. Graafian follicle.
· follicle and CL development to the 1st follicular wave. The objective of this thesis was to test 3 re-synchronization programs (Ovsynch, G6G, and GGPG) tailored to 4 different stages of follicular and corpora lutea development in cows (n = 515) that did not become pregnant at 1st
· 1.5 In sexually mature rats the cortex contains numerous follicles at various stages of development. Five stages of follicular maturation (folliculogenesis) are described i. Primordial follicleThis represents the earliest stage of follicular development. Primordial follicles form
· The follicular phase starts at the initial day of your period (flow) and continues until ovulation. During this phase, the innermost layer of the endometrium (uterine lining) becomes thickened due to the hormonal changes.
Biology and Pathology of the OocyteOctober 2013
· The oocytes retrieved from both follicular and luteal phases under 12 mm in diameter may be healthy unless the size of oocytes were smaller than 120 μm. It is a common belief that the oocyte growth is already finalized at the antral stage, significantly before follicle development is completed.
· The follicular phase of the menstrual cycle is a time when follicles grow and prepare for ovulation. While the average phase length is 16 days, some women will have a longer follicular phase
· Knowing the stages of the menstrual cycle can help put you in control of your body and empower you to know when to speak with a doctor. We’ll tell you all about the menstrual, follicular
· Share via Facebook Twitter LinkedIn More The formation of gametes in the ovaries is termed oogenesis. During fetal development, primordial germ cells migrate from the yolk sac to the ovaries. There, germ cells differentiate into oogonia. Oogonia are diploid (2n) cells that divide mitotically to produce millions of germ cells. A few develop into larger []
· Preantral follicular development can be divided into three stages activation of primordial follicles, the primary to secondary follicle transition, and the development of secondary follicles to the periantral stage.
Estrogen and progestin concentrations in plasma and follicular fluid (FF) of follicles within the small (5 to 100/A), medium (101 to 400 gd) and large (>400 gtl) range, numbers of follicles and volume of FF per follicle within these ranges were determined in beef heifers. There were differences (P<.01) in mean concentrations ( SE) of steroids among and within follicles from the small, medium
· followed by other treatment options at first or subsequent relapse. However, certain groups of patients still have a poor prognosis. In recent years the efficacy of chemotherapy regimens has been augmented by new compounds selectively targeting the cell surface, intracellular pathways, and/or the microenvironment. Some of these are beginning to change the therapeutic landscape. This review

The follicular phase, is larger and better-defined at this stage of development then it is during the secondary follicle stage. our oocyte has been paused in one of the stages of oogenesis.
Know the stages of follicular development starting with oogonium. Know when this occurs, at which stage of meiosis I the primary oocytes get stuck in, what happens to the oocytes during ovulation, know what happens during ovulation (what is released) and what happens after ovulation (what is formed in

· The follicular phase starts on the first day of your period. Typically, it takes up the entire first half of your menstrual cycle. This phase begins when your body’s hormone control center, the
· In primates, early antral follicles are present in ovaries throughout the follicular as well as the luteal phase and even prior to the onset of puberty [5, 6].It is generally accepted that the stages of follicular development up to and including the early antral follicle are relatively independent ofthe pituitary gonadotropins, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
· As the primary follicle grows, it forms a clear glycoprotein layer called the zona pellucida between the primary oocyte and the granulosa cells. Stromal cells surrounding the basement membrane begin to form a layer called the theca folliculi. With continuing maturation, a primary follicle develops into a secondary follicle.
· One is the development of the theca cells, the theca interna (inner layer) and theca externa (outer layer) around the basal laminae. The second, which occurs in parallel, is the formation of small blood vessels which, for the first time, bring blood to the developing follicle, and in so doing, deliver nutrients, remove waste products and expose
The formation of primordial follicles to establish a reservoir of resting follicles and the gradual depletion of that reservoir to provide a succession of growing follicles are key to female fertility, but little is known about the regulation of these early stages of follicular development.
· In adult Tg mice, most of the follicles were arrested at early stages of follicular development, as illustrated in Fig. 3M. Irregular estrous cycles were observed in these mice. At the same time that there was a lack of continuous follicular development in the Tg ovaries,
· The development of follicles in follicular phase depends on secretion of the Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), secreted from pituitary gland in the brain. That is why doctors often measure FSH in the blood, to ensure that your body is properly stimulating egg development.
The early stages of folliculogenesis can be divided into three classes based on the number of layers of granulosa cells, the development of theca tissue, and the expression of a small cavity or antrum. The classes are the primary, secondary, and early tertiary follicles (Fig. 9).

· Follicular atresia is directed by granulosa cell apoptosis and affects all stages of follicular development. Interestingly, recent evidence from studies on rats shows that autophagy of germinal cells is an alternative route to induce follicular atresia in the ovary . This implies the importance of autophagy in cellular elimination within the ovary.
