Increased expression of genes responsible for enzymes involved in cellular antioxidant defense systems in chronically vitamin D deficient female mice suggests higher levels of
intraovarian OS (56).
Usefulness of
intraovarian artery pulsatility and resistance indices measurement on the day of follicle aspiration for the assessment of oocyte quality.
Systemic and
intraovarian effects of corpus luteum on follicular dynamics during estrous cycle in hair breed sheep.
Furthermore, during ovarian follicular development, several growth factors and cytokines act as
intraovarian regulators in vivo, and in the follicle, the action of gonadotrophins is modulated by locally produced paracrine and autocrine growth factors [20, 21].
Furthermore, using follicular fluid as a surrogate of the
intraovarian milieu, we showed that local gonadotropin-induced androgen production is associated with
intraovarian exposure to lipids and that this association may be mediated by ineffective NEFA [beta]-oxidation (Figure 1, bottom left part) [77].
Ovarian folliculogenesis is organised by the interaction of extraovarian and
intraovarian factors that coordinate the processes of oocyte growth and follicular development in the periovulatory period (5).
Circannual variations in
intraovarian oocyte but not epididymal sperm quality in the domestic Cat.
Some studies have reported that the effects of gonadotropins on follicular development and ovulation rate are mediated by
intraovarian growth factors such as the insulin-like growth factor, bone morphogenetic proteins, and epidermal growth factor [30].
Indeed, an increase in
intraovarian reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been convincingly correlated with increasing maternal age [12-15].
Using needle aspiration,
intraovarian hemorrhage was confirmed and partial cystectomy was performed.
