Abstract

The preantral follicles enclosed in ovarian cortex represent about 95% of the entire follicular population and can be grown and matured in vitro in order to obtain mature and competent oocytes, which may be used in various reproductive biotechnologies applied to domestic animals. Studies related to folliculogenesis can be performed in vivo, by analyzing the expression of genes or proteins that are present in the ovary, and also in vitro with the use of different systems, in which the follicles can be grown in situ or isolated. Thus, this study shows the different methods of isolation and in vitro systems employed for maintaining the structural integrity and development of preantral follicles. Keywords: Biotechnology, development, folliculogenesis.
