This study evaluated the effects of bioidentical nanostructured progesterone alone or in association with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on the in vitro survival and development of preantral follicles (experiment 1) and oocyte maturation (experiment 2). Bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure identical with that of endogenous hormones; nanostructured substances refer to those reduced to a nanoscale. In experiment 1, fragments of goat ovarian tissue were cultured for 7 days in α-MEM+ alone or supplemented with nanoprogesterone (MEM+ + P4) or P4 and hCG (MEM+ + P4 + hCG). In experiment 2, two mediums of oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) were compared. Medium 1 consisted of TCM 199+ + LH, and medium 2 consisted of TCM 199+ with nanoprogesterone and hCG. The MEM+ + P4 + hCG treatment showed the lowest percentage of follicular survival after 7 days of culture. MEM+ + P4 and MEM+ + P4 + hCG treatments showed higher percentage of follicular activation than MEM+. In experiment 2, there were no differences between mediums 1 and 2 for all endpoints evaluated. In conclusion, the addition of nanoprogesterone is advisable for in vitro culture of preantral follicles and oocyte maturation. However, the association of nanoprogesterone with hCG causes the cellular death of initial follicles but shows efficacy in IVM.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D005260 Female Females
D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.
