The Matrix Metalloproteinase System and Ovulation: Expression, Regulation and Function in the Human and the Rat.
·doi:10.1093/biolreprod/87.s1.85

The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are postulated to facilitate ovulation by remodeling the follicular wall. The MMP family is comprised of 25 different proteinases, many of which share common structural and functional characteristics and…

article 2010
Human Ovarian Expression and Localization of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3) During the Periovulatory Period.
·doi:10.1093/biolreprod/83.s1.643

Alterations in the interaction between the follicle and the matrix must occur before follicular rupture and ovulation can take place. Such interactions are controlled in part by the delicate balance between the matrix metalloproteinases (MM…

article 2007
REGULATION OF EXPRESSION OF Timp1 AND Timp3 mRNA IN RAT GRANULOSA CELLS DURING THE PERIOVULATORY PERIOD
·doi:10.1093/biolreprod/77.s1.179a

In the ovary, the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have been postulated to play a critical role in extracellular matrix remodeling associated with ovulation as well as luteal formation…

article 2006
Expression of an extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (basigin) in the human ovary and ovarian endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2006.01.042
article 1998
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist (GnRH-a) Therapy Alters Activity of Plasminogen Activators, Matrix Metalloproteinases, and Their Inhibitors in Rat Models for Adhesion Formation and Endometriosis: Potential GnRH-a–Regulated Mechanisms Reducing Adhesion Formation
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(98)00032-6
article 1997
O-134 Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) therapy alters activity of plasminogen activators (PA), Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP) and of their inhibitors (PAI and MMPI) in rat models for adhesion formation and endometriosis: Potential GnRHa-regulated mechanisms reducing adhesion formation
·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(97)90766-4
article 1993
The presence of luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome and altered folliculogenesis in rats with surgically induced endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0002-9378(93)90642-v
article 1984
Ovarian sympathectomy in the guinea pig
·doi:10.1007/bf00214226
article 1982
A Light and Electron Microscopic Study of the Human Ovarian Ligament
·doi:10.1159/000145509

The structure of the human ovarian ligament was studied with light and electron microscopy, with emphasis on neural components. The ligament is primarily composed of smooth muscle arranged in an outer oblique and an inner longitudinal layer…
