Ovary, Folliculogenesis and Ovulation
Ovulation—Lawrence L. Espey, PhD
“During the past decade, I have prepared a lengthy review on this topic which covers most of the significant work up to 1994. More recently, a brief review of ovulation has also been published. At present, our knowledge of the ovulatory process is changing rapidly because of increasing information about the specific genes that are expressed in ovarian tissue in response to an ovulatory dose of gonadotropic hormone. Several recent manuscripts on such gene expression are available on another page of this website.”
Ovarian Kaleidoscope Database (OKDB)
The Ovarian Kaleidoscope Database provides information regarding the biological function, expression pattern and regulation of genes expressed in the ovary. In addition, it serves as a gateway to other online information resources offering data about nucleotide and amino acid sequences, chromosomal localization, human and murine mutation phenotypes and biomedical publications relevant to the ovarian research community.
Center for Research in Reproductive Physiology
The mission of the Center for Research in Reproductive Physiology (CRRP) is to systematically study the fundamental physiological mechanisms that govern reproduction in higher primates and other mammalian species, integrating molecular, cellular, and system approaches, and to investigate the pathophysiological bases of specific states of human infertility. In addition, the CRRP is committed to provide pre-and postdoctoral level training in reproductive physiology and molecular endocrinology.
