The book covers multiple molecular and physiological mechanisms including initiation of oocyte growth during folliculogenesis and in vitro follicle culture to support oocyte competence, that are critical to health and quality. Physiological process ranging from gene expression to metabolism will be covered with an eye toward using these factors to uncover biomarkers that will further advance the field. In addition, the text looks at the effects of in vitro maturation environments on oocyte quality and developmental outcome.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 Oocyte Development before and during Folliculogenesis 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMelissa Pepling\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Germ Cell Cyst and Ovigerous Cord Formation 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Meiotic Entry and Progression 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Follicle Formation 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 Follicle Development 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.6 Steroid Hormone Signaling in Oocyte Development 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.7 Summary 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2 The \u003ci\u003eIn Vitro\u003c\/i\u003e Culture of Ovarian Follicles: A Brief History and Current Considerations 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eBahar Uslu and Joshua Johnson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Introduction 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 A Brief Historical Review of \u003ci\u003eIn Vitro\u003c\/i\u003e Follicle Culture 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 State-of-the-Art \u003ci\u003eIn Vitro\u003c\/i\u003e Follicle Culture 24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 The Future of Ovarian Follicle Culture 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3 Regulation of Oocyte Meiotic Resumption by Somatic Cells 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMasayuki Shimada\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Meiotic Resumption Is Negatively Regulated in a cAMP-Dependent Manner 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 The Regulation of cAMP Level in Mouse Oocytes 37\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 The Expression and Roles of PDEs in both Cumulus Cells and Oocytes in Domestic Animals 38\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.4 Closure of Gap Junctional Communication 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.5 How to Activate the ERK1\/2 Pathway in Cumulus Cells of COC 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.6 ERK1\/2 in Cumulus Cells Is Required for Meiotic Resumption 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.7 Dynamic Changes of Kinase Activities within Oocytes 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.8 Conclusion 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4 Oocyte-Secreted Factors in Domestic Animals 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eJeremy G.
