The objective of the current study was to describe follicular dynamics in Egyptian Jennies throughout the estrous cycle. In this experiment, 8 estrus cycles in 8 cyclic Jennies were studied from February to June using ultrasonography. The result revealed that one follicular wave per cycle was recorded throughout the studied period. Dominant follicle (DF) was firstly detected at day in Jennies. The growth rate of DF was  mm/day. Left ovulations were nonsignificantly () more than right ovulations (55.6% versus 44.6%). The CL was firstly detected at D , developed in a rate of  mm/day, reached a maximum diameter of  mm at D , and started to regress on D with a mean regression rate of  mm d-1. Results of the present study indicated that Jennies had one follicular wave per cycle. The Day of the cycle has a significant effect on the number of different classes of the ovarian follicles, but not large ones. Ultrasonographic characteristics of the preovulatory follicles could be useful to predict ovulation. CL developed and regressed in a slow rate.

The present study aimed to determine if gossypol interferes with ovarian follicles in rats. Twenty-four female Wistar rats were assigned to two equal groups: one control group and the other dosed with gossypol (25 mg/kg/day, subcutaneously) for 15 days. Ovarian follicles were histologically classified according to the stage of development and as normal or atretic. Gossypol treatment reduced the length of estrous with an increase in the duration of the diestrus phase. This compound was responsible for reduced serum levels of T4 and progesterone. Treatment with gossypol was responsible for a significant reduction in the number of normal ovarian follicles and a significant increase in the number of atretic follicles, both in all stages of development. Thus, treatment of rats with gossypol was responsible for reduction in the number of viable follicles and changes in hormone levels that resulted in interference of the estrous cycle.

Six normally cycling Philippine buffaloes were selected from a herd after showing normal estrous cycle length. Follicular development was monitored using a simple fiberscope. This procedure allowed the chance to follow the pattern of growth and the population of the surface follicles at specified days (3,6,9,12,15,18 and 21) of the estrous cycle. The following endpoints were used for each ovary: diameter of surface follicles and population of the various sized follicles. The follicles were classified into small-sized follicles (1-3mm), medium-sized follicles (4-7mm) and large sized follicles (>8mm). The results of the growth and replacement of follicles showed that the mean number of small - sized follicles (1-3mm) was greater (P<.01) on days 3,9,12,15,18 and 21. The medium-sized follicles (4-7mm) were greater in number on days 12,15,18 and 21 while the large sized follicles (8mm) were observed to be different (P<.01) on days 15,18 and 21.
