ABSTRACT

Adequate ovarian follicular development, leads to the attainment of the principal objective of this organ: provides and encourages maintenance of a number of proper viable gametes that will insure the propagation of the species. Since the formation of primordial follicles to the exit of the oocyte during ovulation, some mechanism of proliferation, differentiation, survival and cell death are regulated by both endocrine and paracrine factors in the ovary. Alterations in follicular development may induce a premature loss of reproductive capacity at or the natural loss of follicles by atresia in females older during the menopausal period. The aim of this study was to review the mechanism that regulate follicular development.
