Dynamics of follicular growth in the human: a model from preliminary results
Abstract
In the human species, follicle growth is a very long process. The ovulatory follicle originates from a cohort of pre-antral follicles that have differentiated their theca interna 85 days earlier under the control of the high peri-ovulatory steroid and gonadotrophin levels. During growth the number of follicles decreases by atresia under the influence of factors relating to the size of the follicles. Their growth rate is regulated by intra- and extra-ovarian hormonal factors. At the end of the luteal phase, 15-20 days before ovulation, the next ovulatory follicle is recruited among a follicle population of 2-5 mm in diameter. At the beginning of the menstrual cycle it can be distinguished only by its size; a few days later it starts its maturation and exhibits its dominance on the other healthy follicles present in the two ovaries.

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.
