Abstract:
Abstract: There are a large amount of follicles in mammalian ovary. Most of the follicles undergo atresia during the process of follicular development and then disappear, only a few of them mature and ovulate. Ovarian follicles are consisted with oocytes and the granulosa cells around them. The apoptosis of granulosa cells is the main reason for follicle atresia. Apoptosis-associated proteins regulate apoptosis through taking part in the apoptosis pathway and the signal transduction in apoptosis. This review focuses the recent researches on the proteins which regulate the process of the apoptosis of follicular granulose cells.
Key words: follicle; apoptosis protein; granulosa cells apoptosis
