Mural granulosa cell gene expression associated with oocyte developmental competence
6 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ovarian follicle development is a complex process. Paracrine interactions between somatic and germ cells are critical for normal follicular development and oocyte maturation. Studies have suggested that the health and function of the granulosa and cumulus cells may be reflective of the health status of the enclosed oocyte. The objective of the present study is to assess, using an in vivo immature rat...
