Following this standardized protocol would provide meaningful data for comparison between different patients and different studies. Biology Bovine Ovarian Cortex Tissue Culture Courtney M. Sutton*1, Shelby A. Springman*1, Mohamed A. Abedal-Majed2, Andrea S. Cupp1 1Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 2Department of Animal Production, School of Agriculture, University of Jordan In vitro culture of bovine ovarian cortex and the effect of nutritional Stair-step diet on ovarian microenvironment is presented. Ovarian cortex pieces were cultured for seven days and steroids, cytokines, and follicle stages were evaluated. The Stair-Step diet treatment had increased steroidogenesis resulting in follicle progression in culture.
