SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This second edition of The Ovary incorporates the dramatic research developments regarding the ovarian life cycle within the past decade. It looks at ovarian function from a detailed molecular and cellular level. The updated chapters, along with the new material, represent an unparalleled compilation of chapters relevant to contemporary ovarian physiology. The book is divided into 8 sections: The Ovarian Follicular Apparatus: Operational Characteristics; Oocyte Maturation and Ovulation; The Corpus Luteum; Putative Intraovarian Regulators; Cyclic Ovarian Cell Death; Novel Experimental Models; Human Ovarian Pathophysiology: Select Aspects; and Human Ovarian Surface Epithelium and Neoplasia. * Addresses all phases of the ovarian life cycle * New information includes the latest developments in ovarian surface epithelium * Contains 38 in-depth chapters.
