OBJECTIVE: There is only a limited direct indication that gonadotropins play a role in the genesis and development of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) can enhance the growth of epithelial ovarian cancer cell in vitro.

FSH is important for ovarian antral follicle growth and steroidogenesis, processes in the human that are believed to be mediated by IGF-II. ... The objective of this study was to determine if human ovarian pre-antral follicles are also FSH- and IGF-II-responsive, ... Follicle Stimulating Hormone [pharmacology]

The blue arrow follows the the ovarian follicles from their maturation (from primary follicles) to their eventual demise (as the corpus luteum). Note: The follicles do NOT actually move around the ovary as they mature. ... The Primary Follicle...

Conclusions: NALP5 probably plays a key role in the onset of human primordial follicle formation and thus the establishment of ovarian reserve in women.

RESULTS: Human ovarian follicles became steroidogenically active, ... CONCLUSIONS: Our data support the notion that human follicle development can be achieved in vitro in a bio-engineered culture system. More studies are required to investigate whether the fully sized oocytes obtained from in vitro grown follicle are competent...
