Fator de crescimento ligado à insulina na reprodução animal

Abstract

The development of female gametes production (gametogenesis) occurs in an interesting way, as its process depends of many combined factors. This review will approach these morpho function mechanisms of the ovary and the folliculogenesis, correlating the function of Insulin-Like Growth Factors (IGFs), which will influence in the production of steroids hormones, in the maintenance follicular maturation, and still elucidate how the diet assists better in these phases. Besides that, with the new researches in animal reproduction, it is important emphasize the role and assists of Insulin-Like Growth Factors during this physiologic process, showing all its potential for a more efficient follicular dynamics in any species.
