From: Intact fetal ovarian cord formation promotes mouse oocyte survival and development
Days of Transplantation | Analysisa | Re-Agg Gonad | Intact Gonad | In VivobControl |
|---|---|---|---|---|
3 | Meiosis | Zygotene-pachytene of meiosis I | Zygotene-pachytene of meiosis I | Zygotene-pachytene of meiosis I [18] |
5 | Ovarian Cord Formation | Ovarian cords do not form and ovary disorganized | Ovarian cords form with distinct organization of oocyte and granulosa cell clusters | Ovarian cords form with distinct organization of oocyte and granulosa cell clusters [1] |
7 | Oocyte Survival | Oocyte numbers significantly reduced compared to intact gonad | Oocyte numbers reduced compared to day 5 | Oocyte numbers decline due to programmed breakdown [10] |
12-21 | Oocyte Development in Follicles | Oocytes do not survive to day 12 and follicles not observed | Oocytes survive, form follicles, and mature | Oocytes survive, form follicles, and mature [2] |
