Mammalian ovaries consist of follicles as basic functional units. The total number of ovarian follicles is determined early in life, and the depletion of this pool leads to reproductive senescence. Each follicle develops to either ovulate or, more likely, to undergo degeneration. The dynamics of ovarian follicle development have interested endocrinologists and developmental biologists for many ...

This study examined how parental investment in the child (PIC) varied as a function of method-of-conception, gender and other contextual variables, i.e. prenatal depression, social support and satisfaction with the marital rel...
