    Abstract

    The ovary is supplied by the ovarian artery and the ovarian branch of the uterine artery. Ovarian endocrinological function and ovulation is dependent on the establishment and continual remodeling of a complex vascular system. In the ovary, the development of new capillaries from preexisting ones (angiogenesis) is a complex event regulated by several hormones and angiogenic factors and also cellular changes. Expression of hormones and angiogenic factors varies throughout the cycle. Understanding of these factors and the control mechanism is essential to understand and correct abnormalities of ovulation and improve the treatment outcome of ovulation induction, in patients with subfertility.
