Mathematical modelling was used to investigate oxygen transport in the developing ovarian follicle. In contrast to previous findings, the results show that oxygen can reach the oocyte in large preantral follicles. This is largely due to the inclusion of fluid voidage in the model and improved estimates of oxygen diffusion coefficients through the granulosa. The results also demonstrate that preantral follicles will eventually reach a size beyond which further growth will result in the follicle becoming increasingly anoxic. The predicted size range at which this occurs is consistent with the size range at which antrum formation is observed in many mammals. This suggests that the antrum formation stage of follicular growth may be pivotal to the further development and ultimate fate of the follicle, and that antrum formation itself may represent a mechanism by which the follicle can overcome oxygen limitations. This was supported through extension of the model to the antral follicle, which showed that antrum formation can provide a way in which the follicle can continue to grow and yet avoid becoming hypoxic. The results of the model were consistent with observed follicle development.
