Abstract

Growth and differentiation factor 9 (GDF-9) and inhibins (A and B) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily and local factors essential for normal ovarian function and folliculogenesis in mice. However, their production and roles during follicle growth in primates are less clear. The current study quantitated levels of GDF-9 and inhibin B during in vitro growth of macaque preantral to small antral follicles.
