Age-associated changes in granulosa cells and follicular fluid in cows
نویسنده
چکیده
Age-associated decline in oocyte quality is common in mammals. Oocytes take a long time to reach their full-grown size in large animals, and maternal physical conditions profoundly affect follicle development. Aging affects the oocyte itself as well as the surrounding environment, such as granulosa cells and follicular fluid. This review discusses age-associated changes that occur in granulosa cells and follicular fluid in cows and suggests that age-associated decline in granulosa cells and follicular fluid hampers proper oocyte development.

Evaluation of relationship between BMI with vitamin D receptor gene expression and vitamin D levels of follicular fluid in overweight patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder. The roles of vitamin D in the regulation of metabolic modulations specifically involving insulin action and reproduction processing are introduced. In addition, obesity appears to be closely associated with severity of PCOS. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of BMI on vitamin D levels in follicular...
متن کاملOptimization of The Cell Aggregates Method for Isolation and Purification of Human Granulosa Cells from Follicular Fluid
Objective Aspirated ovarian follicular fluids (FF) contain luteal granulosa cells (LGC) and other contaminating cell types. Several strategies such as the antibody binding methods, the flask method, the cell strainer, and the positive selection of granulosa aggregates after density gradient centrifugation, were tested as LGCs purification methods. Each of these strategies has its own advantages...
متن کاملSome biochemical constituents in follicular fluid of indigenous cows of Assam
Aim: Estimation of some biochemical constituents in follicular fluid of non-descript cows of Assam. Materials and Methods: Twenty five pairs of ovaries were collected from local slaughter house and the follicular fluid was aspirated from small (2-4 mm), medium (4-6 mm) and large (6-9 mm) follicles. Aspirated fluid samples were centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 20 min in a refrigerated centrifuge to r...
متن کاملP-194: Follicular Fluid Adiponectin Concentrations in Follicles in The Luteal Phase of The Estrous Cycle in Dairy Cows
Background: Adiponectin is an adipocytokines which is secreted from the adipose tissue of human and domestic animals. No information is available regarding the follicular fluid adiponectin concentrations in dairy cows. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the follicular fluid adiponectin concentrations in different-sized follicles in the luteal phase of the estrous cycle in ...
متن کاملOleic acid induces down-regulation of the granulosa cell identity marker FOXL2, and up-regulation of the Sertoli cell marker SOX9 in bovine granulosa cells
During negative energy balance, the concentration of different fatty acids, especially of oleic acid (OA) increases in the follicular fluid of cattle. Previously, we showed that OA induced morphological, physiological and molecular changes in cultured bovine granulosa cells. In our present study we analyzed effects of OA on the expression of markers for granulosa and Sertoli cell identity, FOXL...
