TL;DR: The present immunohistochemical study showed that PGRMC1 is located in various compartments of the bovine female reproductive organs, with the exception of the corpora lutea, which showed similar pattern during different stages of the estrous cycle.

TL;DR: Results from the study suggest that in bovine ovaries with small mid antral follicle number, a defective eNOS/NO system is related to a reduced follicle vasculature and may affect oocyte quality, thus inducing a premature decline of fertility.

TL;DR: The IVM test could advance toward the process of validation as alternative in vitro method that, in combination with additional in vitro tests, can become part of an integrated testing strategy in order to predict chemical hazards on mammalian fertility.

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that culled dairy cows characterised by 'Lo' ovaries are affected by premature ovarian senescence found that cows with a specific Lo ovary condition may represent a suitable model to address the causes of low fertility in high-yielding dairy cows, as well as the condition of premature ovarian aging in single-ovulating species.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GJC between germinal and somatic compartments plays a fundamental role in the regulation of chromatin remodeling and transcription activities during the final oocyte differentiation, throughout cAMP dependent mechanism(s).
