The Ovarian Reserve of Primordial Follicles and the Dynamic Reserve of Antral Growing Follicles: What Is the Link?1

Abstract: The growing follicles develop from a reserve of primordial follicles constituted early in life. From this pre-established reserve, a second ovarian reserve is formed, which consists of gonadotropin-responsive small antral growing follicles and is a dynamic reserve for ovulation. Its size, evaluated by direct antral follicular count or endocrine markers, determines the success of assisted reproductive technologies in humans and embryo production biotechnologies in animals. Strong evidence indicates that these t… Show more

“…The mammalian ovary has a finite number of oocytes that are formed in foetal development (Monniaux et al 2014). During embryonic development, primordial germ cells migrate from the primitive streak through the endoderm to the genital ridge where they differentiate into oogonia while the foetal ovary forms (Richardson & Lehmann 2010).…”

“…Primordial follicles can become activated soon after their initial formation and it is not known why some follicles become activated early in life, whereas others are able to remain dormant for months, years or decades (Zhang & Liu 2015). The rate 233:1 of primordial follicle activation exceeds the rate at which mature oocytes are ovulated, with the excess developing follicles being removed via a process known as atresia (McGee & Hsueh 2000, Monniaux et al 2014.…”

“…These changes are evident as women age. Some genetic mutations and disorders of the endocrine system can accelerate or modulate the rate at which the ovarian reserve is exhausted and cause premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) (1). Among the various causes of DOR, abnormal immune function may be a great contributor to this phenomenon (2).…”

“…The extracellular region of the BMPR2 is able to block the proliferative activity of GDF9 & BMP15 combined (Edwards et al, 2008). The extracellular region of the BMPR2 fused with an IgG domain can be produced in vitro (Myllymaa et al, 2010) and might provide a more controlled approach to mimic the neutralising effects of an active immunisation. However, both GDF9 and BMP15 regulate cumulus cell function and have been linked to improved oocyte development when used during in vitro oocyte maturation for in vitro production of embryos (reviewed in Russell et al, 2016; and thus reducing the bioactivity too far might decrease embryo quality.…”

“…In this review we will focus on members of the GDF, BMP and TGFB sub-groups of the TGFB superfamily. Readers are directed to additional reviews for information on other factors controlling ovarian follicular development (Young and McNeilly, 2010;Buratini and Price, 2011;Scaramuzzi et al, 2011;Knight et al, 2012;Campbell et al, 2014;Knight and Glister, 2014;Monniaux et al, 2014;Price, 2016;Shimizu, 2016;Silva et al, 2016;Pankhurst, 2017;Estienne and Price, 2018) DOI: 10.21451/1984 Figure 1.
