This volume, and its companion volume on the spermatozoon, provide
an authoritative and wide ranging account of the gametes and their
reproductive role and function in humans. Acknowledged authorities
from around the world contribute a detailed and timely account of
the oocyte. The volume starts with an evolutionary perspective
before focusing on the molecular and cellular biology of the oocyte
and its structure and function. The development and maturation of
the oocyte is fully dealt with to include the endocrine and
paracrine regulation of ovarian function. Practical issues such as
oocyte storage and ovarian stimulation are also fully covered. The
causes of female infertility are also an important theme. The
volume concludes with a thought provoking chapter on ethical
considerations. The volume will be an essential source of
information for all clinicians and scientists with an interest in
human reproduction.
