follicular fluid

As an egg develops in the ovary, it is surrounded by follicular fluid.

"Evidence that human follicular fluid contains a chemoattractant for spermatozoa".

GC were separated from follicular fluid by centrifugation at 500 x g for 5 minutes.

At ovulation the stigma ruptures and the ovum is released along with follicular fluid.

Propofol-based anesthetic techniques result in significant concentrations of propofol in follicular fluid.

"Crude mare follicular fluid exerts chemotactic effects on stallion spermatozoa".

Through this needle follicles can be aspirated, and the follicular fluid is passed to an embryologist to identify ova.

"Chemotaxis of capacitated rabbit spermatozoa to follicular fluid revealed by a novel directionality-based assay".

This results in an expanding or dispersed pattern of the cumulus oophorus around the egg cell, facilitating its identification within follicular fluid.

The follicular fluid is delivered to a technician in the IVF laboratory to identify and quantify the ova.

Once the follicle is entered, suction is gently applied to aspirate follicular fluid and with it, hopefully, cellular material including the oocyte.

Follicular fluid is a liquid which fills the follicular antrum and surrounds the ovum in an ovarian follicle.

At the time of its initial isolation from follicular fluid, it was found to inhibit the anterior pituitary's secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

Species specificity was not detected in experiments that compared the chemotactic responsiveness of human and rabbit spermatozoa to follicular fluids or egg-conditioned media obtained from human, bovine, and rabbit (Sun et al., 2003).

The study found that women with a higher vitamin D level in their serum and follicular fluid (the fluid in a developing ovarian follicle) are "significantly more likely to achieve clinical pregnancy" following an IVF-embryo transfer.

Some lines of iPSCs have the potentiality to differentiate into male germ cells and oocyte-like cells in an appropriate niche (by culturing in retinoic acid and porcine follicular fluid differentiation medium or seminiferous tubule transplantation).
