• TUNEL staining showed increased labeling of granulosa cells in follicles going through atresia
|
|
• ovaries from 3.5-month-old mice show significantly higher numbers of corpora lutea in proestrus than ovaries from wild-type females
|
|
• ovaries from 3.5-month-old mice show significantly higher numbers of antral pre-ovulatory follicles in proestrus than ovaries from wild-type females
|
|
• ovaries from 3.5-month-old mice show significantly lower numbers of early antral follicles in proestrus than ovaries from wild-type females
|
|
• ovaries exhibit a higher number of atretic antral follicles than wild-type ovaries
• however, the total number of healthy follicles is normal
|
|
• after induction of superovulation with PMSG + hCG, 1-month-old females produce a significantly higher number of ovulated eggs than wild-type controls
• however, IVF studies show a comparable success rate in blastula formation as when using eggs from wild-type females
