Abstract:

The fibroblast growth factor family plays the important role in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, follicular development, maturation of the germ cells, energy metabolism, organ formation and development, tissue regeneration, skeletal development and homeostasis, and so on. The FGF family was divided into paracrine FGFs, autocrine FGFs and endocrine FGFs depending on its different modes of action. The functions of FGFs are different while some are overlapped. Now, the researches of FGFs are mainly focused on embryonic development, animal reproduction and glycolipid metabolism. Here the biological functions of FGFs in mammalian ovary development are reviewed, in order to further explore the regulatory mechanism of ovary development.
