Abstract

Accelerated atresia of follicles in poultry represent an important physiological process during ovarian aging, this biological phenomenon may be an important reason for the decline of egg production in poultry during late-laying period. The follicular microenvironment affects the interaction between granulosa cells and oocytes, thereby affecting the growth and maturation of follicle. Apoptosis of granulosa cells is the dominant cause of inducing follicular atresia. This article reviewed the ovarian microenvironmental changes during aging, mainly including hormone disorders, oxidative stress and other inducing factors, as well as oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial damage and endoplasmic reticulum stress, and discussed about the mechanism of ovarian microenvironmental changes and follicle atresia induced by ageing, in order to provides reference for the regulation of reproductive performance or laying performance during the late laying period in poultry.
