β¦ Synopsis
The present review demonstrates an important role of different growth factors (of insulin-like growth factors, epidermal growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor, thrombopoietin, erytropoietin, hepatocyte growth factor, and growth factors of Hedgehog, Wnt and Notch families) in control of different ovarian functions-ovarian cell proliferation, apoptosis, folliculogenesis, luteogenesis, oogenesis, release of hormones, response to upstream hormonal regulators, fertility and, in some cases, in development of ovarian disorders. The possibility of practical application of these growth factors for characterization, prediction, and regulation the ovarian state is demonstrated.
