Autophagy in Ovarian Follicular Development and Atresia
1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a mechanism that exists in all eukaryotes under a variety of physiological and pathological conditions. In the mammalian ovaries, less than 1% of follicles ovulate, whereas the remaining 99% undergo follicular atresia.
