Topic:Ovarian Follicles

Ovarian follicles in horses are structures within the ovaries that contain the developing oocyte, or egg, and are essential for reproduction. These follicles undergo a series of growth stages, from primordial to preovulatory, influenced by hormonal changes within the mare's reproductive cycle. The development and maturation of ovarian follicles are regulated by hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Monitoring follicular development is integral to understanding reproductive physiology and managing breeding in equine practice. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the physiology, development, and clinical management of ovarian follicles in horses.

DAVIES J, DEMPSEY EW, WISLOCKI GB.A fetal horse ovary at the 6th month of gestation and a fetal ovary and testis at the 9th month have been studied histochemically with special reference to the cytoplasmic lipids of the interstitial cells. At least two lipid fractions appeared to be present, one which was soluble in acetone and was mainly responsible for the positive "plasmal" reaction, and another, insoluble in acetone, which was responsible for the sudanophilic, Ashbel-Seligman and periodic acid-Schiff positive material remaining after acetone extraction. The interstitial cell lipids in the older ovary and testis were also a...

ROWLANDS IW.Shortly after Cole & Hart [1930] had reported the discovery of a gonadotrophic hormone in the blood of the mare in early pregnancy they [Cole, Howell & Hart, 1931] described the changes that occur in the ovaries throughout gestation, and associated the unusually active condition of the ovaries between the 40th and 150th day with the presence of the gonadotrophin in the blood. During this period the ovaries are very large and contain numerous follicles and a small number of functional corpora lutea. The authors claim that the latter serve initially to supplement the function of the prim...
