REVIEWS

Current status of the hypothesis that mammalian ovulation is comparable to an inflammatory reaction

LL Espey
Biology Department, Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas 78212-7200.

This presentation reviews current information on the events that lead to rupture of an ovarian follicle. It contains a summary of the morphological changes that occur at the apex of a follicle wall during ovulation. Existing information shows that the tenacious connective tissue layers of the tunica albuginea and theca externa must be weakened before the follicle wall can dissociate and break open under the force of a modest intrafollicular pressure. These changes are probably dependent on transformation of quiescent thecal fibroblasts into proliferating cells in a manner that is characteristic of tissue responses to inflammatory reactions. The metabolic factors that initiate transformation of the fibroblasts are uncertain, but they are probably generated by gonadotropin-induced changes in the theca interna and granulosa of a follicle as these layers begin to luteinize during the ovulatory process.
