In biology, folliculogenesis is the maturation of the ovarian follicle, a densely packed shell of somatic cells that contains an immature oocyte. Folliculogenesis describes the progression of a number of small primordial follicles into large preovulatory follicles that occurs in part during the menstrual cycle .

2022年1月20日 · Folliculogenesis refers to the process of ovarian follicle development. Follicles are the structures that contain the oocytes in the ovaries, which are given different names that determine the stages of folliculogenesis: primordial, primary, secondary, preantral, antral and …

Folliculogenesis is the developmental process of ovarian follicles starting from a reserve of quiescent primordial follicles set up in early life and ending with either ovulation or follicular death by atresia.

2012年1月30日 · Folliculogenesis begins with the recruitment of a primordial follicle into the pool of growing follicles and ends with either ovulation or death by atresia. In women, folliculogenesis is a very long process, requiring almost one year for a primordial follicle to grow and develop to the ovulatory stage.

2023年8月14日 · First, the ovary produces hormones that drive the female reproductive system. Second, the ovary controls the development, selection, and release of a mature oocyte for fertilization. This process, known as ovarian folliculogenesis, begins while the female is in-utero.

Folliculogenesis is the process in which a recruited primordial follicle grows and develops into a specialized graafian follicle with the potential to either ovulate its egg into the oviduct at mid-cycle to be fertilized or to die by atresia.

The process by which a follicle forms, proceeds through several growing stages, develops to eventually release the mature oocyte, and turns into a corpus luteum (CL) is known as “folliculogenesis”.

2001年3月5日 · Objective: To assess major physiological events underlying folliculogenesis, including FSH-dependent dominant follicle (DF) formation, LH/hCG signaling, and the role of novel regulatory molecules in these developmental processes.

Folliculogenesis is a tightly coordinated process essential for generating a fertilization-competent gamete while also producing gonadal hormones that sustain endocrine function.

Follicles during the folliculogenesis process can be divided into three stages: primordial follicles (PmF), growing follicles, and Graafian follicles (GF). Growing follicles can be further divided into primary follicles (PrF) and secondary follicles (SF).
