Abstract excerpt
Periovulatory follicular matrix plays an important role in cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) expansion, ovulation, and luteal formation. Hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1 (HAPLN1), a component of follicular matrix, was shown to enhance COC expansion in vitro. However, the regulatory mechanisms of periovulatory expression of Hapln1 and its role in periovulatory granulosa cells have not been elucidated. We...
