Microvasculature of preovulatory follicles: Comparison of in situ and in vitro perfused rabbit ovaries following stimulation of ovulation

·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(85)80087-9

Perifollicular vasculature undergoes significant morphologic changes as ovulation approaches. These vascular changes were observed in in vitro perfused and in situ rabbit ovaries by means of scanning electron microscopy of microcorrosion ca…

Investigation of mammalian ovulation with an in vitro perfused rabbit ovary preparation

·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(78)80007-6

An in vitro perfused rabbit ovary preparation has been developed to study local factors responsible for the ovulatory process. This preparation enables: (1) isolation of the ovary from systemic influences, (2) direct serial observations of …

In Vitro Reversal of Indomethacin-Blocked Ovulation by Prostaglandin F2α

·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)43700-3

An in vitro perfused ovary preparation was used to study the role of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) in follicle rupture. The administration of PGF2alpha alone has been shown to restore indomethacin-blocked ovulation in rabbits and monkey…

Studies of Rabbit Ovarian Contractility Using Chronically Implanted Transducers

·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)41723-1

A chronically implanted, highly sensitive force transducer was used to study ovarian contractions in the rabbit. The transducer is implanted into the medulla of the ovary through its long axis. The leads are then drawn through the abdominal…
