Age-related morphometrical peculiarities of Lithuanian women's primordial ovarian follicles.

CONCLUSIONS: The age decreasing of morphometrical parameters begins in primordial ovarian follicles and their primary oocytes in Lithuanian women older than 35 years. The thickness of the follicular basement membrane increased with increasing age of women. No significant differences were found in the morphometrical parameters in primordial follicles of left and right ovaries in the same age group of women. PMID: 30007408 [PubMed - in process]
