... to Follicles
During fetal development in domestic mammals and humans, and around birth in rodents, OCs breakdown progressively into follicular units comprised of a solitary oocyte arrested at the diplotene stage of meiotic prophase that is surrounded by a monolayer of granulosa cells delimited by a continuous BM (Fig.2, B and C). This process, involving the remodeling of the BM from OCs, may require the cooperation between pregranulosa cells, mesenchymal cells, and oocytes for the synthesis of proteinases inducing BM degradation [18]. The fragmentation of OCs into follicles follows a centrifugal pattern within the ovary [10, 13, 19]; in rats, it gives rise to two categories of follicles, primordial follicles located in the periphery and primary follicles located in the core of the ovary [19, 20]. Primary follicles grow rapidly in the days following their formation and constitute the initial waves of growing follicles that ensure the first ovulations of reproductive life [1, 21].
