The Insulin‐like Growth Factor System: a Key Determinant Role in the Growth and Selection of Ovarian Follicles? A Comparative Species Study
Abstract
Contents: The aim of the present paper is to make a comparative study of the expression of the elements of the insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) system in different mammalian species and thus illuminate their potential role in the process of ovarian folliculogenesis in mammals. In most mammalian species, IGFs and IGFBPs (in particular IGFBP‐2 and IGFBP‐4) are considered, respectively, as stimulators and inhibitors of follicular growth and maturation. In mammalian species, IGFs might play a key role in sensitizing ovarian granulosa cells to FSH action during terminal follicular growth. Concentrations of IGFBP‐2 and IGFBP‐4 in follicular fluid strongly decrease and increase during follicular growth and atresia, respectively, leading to an increase and a decrease in IGF bioavailability, respectively. The decrease in these IGFBPs is because of a decrease in mRNA expression (IGFBP‐2) and an increase in proteolytic degradation by PAPP‐A in follicular fluid (IGFBP‐2, IGFBP‐4 and IGFBP‐5), and likely participates in the selection of dominant follicles. In contrast, levels and/or sites of expression of IGF‐I, IGF‐II, IGFBP‐4, IGFBP‐5 and type II receptor in follicular cells strongly differ between mammalian species, suggesting that these phenomena might play species‐specific or secondary roles in ovarian folliculogenesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
