Follicle stimulating hormone and steroidogenesis in ovarian granulosa cells during aging in the domestic hen
There is a decreased rate of follicular maturation with age in the domestic hen. The time required for follicular growth increases, while the number of growing follicles decreases. The causes for this physiological change with age are not defined. Perhaps there are changes with age in the responsiveness of ovarian follicles to gonadotropins.
