The development of the ovary plays an important role in the formation of the ovarian follicle reserve, which governs the female reproductive lifespan. One of the main functions in the developed ovary is the maturation of ovarian follicles, a process known as folliculogenesis. Exposure to reproductive toxicants and reproductive diseases can cause adverse reproductive outcomes, possibly leading to infertility. The purpose of this thesis was to construct a model of early ovarian development, spanning the origin of primordial germ cells to the formation of primordial follicles, in mice and to gather data to be used for the development of a model of the preantral stages of folliculogenesis, the generation of secondary follicles from primordial follicles, in rhesus macaque. 000007869 650__ $$aMice$$036842 000007869 650__ $$aOvary$$023388 000007869 650__ $$aCell Movement$$016289 000007869 650__ $$aMice$$036842 000007869 650__ $$aGerm Cells$$019499 000007869 650__ $$aComputer Simulation$$016989 000007869 650__ $$aInfertility, Female$$020798 000007869 650__ $$aReproduction$$025329 000007869 650__ $$aOvary$$023388 000007869 650__ $$aMacaca mulatta$$021724 000007869 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007869 692__ $$aInstitute of Environmental Health$$041473 000007869 7001_ $$aWear, Hannah$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$10000-0001-7430-4101 000007869 7201_ $$aWatanabe, Karen$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000007869 8564_ $$9259f2798-4d5a-42f5-95ac-b1f07a57fbb2$$s19284211$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7869/files/wear.hannah.2016.pdf$$ePublic$$26b76b197fed8e79bde3816a4e237a54f$$31 000007869 905__ $$a/rest/prod/8k/71/nh/80/8k71nh80m 000007869 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7869$$pstudent-work 000007869 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
