Abstract
Ovulation is a complex process initiated by the mid-cycle surge of luteiniz
ing hormone (LH). Once initiated, a cascade of events occurs that culminate
s in the release of a fertilizable oocyte. The complex series of events inv
olves specific ovarian cell types, diverse signaling pathways and temporall
y controlled expression of specific genes. This review will focus on severa
l genes shown to control the ovulaton process. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ir
