The follicles respond by pumping out estrogen.

卵泡的成熟，会进一步促进雌性的分泌。

The protein follistatin, has an antagonist effect to myostatin, diminishing myostatin's muscle limiting effect.

卵泡抑蛋白与肌抑存在拮抗作用，它能降肌抑对肌肉的限制。

It's a multi-billion dollar business to figure out how to save the follicle.

弄清楚如何保存卵泡是一项价值数十亿美元的生意。

Progesterone is produced by the empty follicle in the ovary.

黄酮是由卵巢中的空卵泡产生的。

Stacy Sims, a researcher at Auckland University of Technology, in New Zealand, recommends athletes increase intensity in the low-hormone follicular phase of the cycle, when the body is primed to bear heavy loads.

新西兰奥克兰理工大学的研究员斯泰西·西姆斯建议运动员在周期的卵泡阶段增强度，此时身准备好承受沉重的负荷。

This includes growth hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone which acts on the adrenal gland, thyroid stimulating hormone which acts on the thyroid, and the gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone, which act on the ovaries.

他们包括生长、作用于肾上腺的促肾上腺皮质、作用于甲状腺的促甲状腺，及作用于卵巢的黄生成（LH）和卵泡刺（FSH）。

And these are women who are undergoing in vitro fertilization, IVF, so we're also looking at their follicular fluid-so the fluid around the eggs that we get at the time of the egg retrieval.

这些是正在接受外受精，也就是试管受精的女性，我们也观察了她们的卵泡液--即提取卵子时得到的卵子周围的液。

There is some evidence that men are more attractive to women when they are in the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle, and their testosterone levels are at their highest.

有一些证据表明，当男性处于女性月周期的卵泡期时，他们对女性更有吸引力，而且他们的睾丸水平处于最高。

But out of that bunch of follicles — usually about 20 or so — only one follicle will end up supporting a single, mature egg.

但是在那一堆卵泡中——通常大约 20 个——只有一个卵泡最终会支持一个成熟的卵子。

The body will respond by producing more follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) than normal, since these hormones stimulate estrogen secretion by the ovaries.

人会产生比正常人更多的促卵泡（FSH）和黄生成（LH），因为这些会刺卵巢分泌雌。

Fertility experts regard a high FSH level as a key indicator of having a low egg count.

生育专家将卵泡刺的数值作为重要指标来衡量女性内卵子数量，数值高则卵子数量少。

The dominant follicle completes its third stage of development in a blaze of glory called ovulation.

优势卵泡就即将开始它成熟过程中的第三个阶段，这个光荣的阶段叫做排卵。

Pituitary FSH makes the follicles grow and the granulosa cells produce more estrogen.

垂生成的FSH使卵泡生长，并且使颗粒细胞生成更多的雌。

The presence of high levels of FSH indicates lower numbers of eggs.

高数值卵泡刺则意味着更少的卵子。

Later symptoms include amenorrhea, an absence of a normal menstrual cycle, even after a period of lactation, which is due to a lack of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone.

晚期的症状包括闭，即月周期不正常，甚至就在哺乳期后出现，这是由于缺乏黄生成和卵泡刺。

Now in puberty in both male and females the hypothalamus starts to release more gonadotropin releasing hormone which gets the pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone.

青春期时的男性和女性内下丘脑开始释放更多促性腺释放（GnRH）；这种会使垂释放黄生成（LH）和促卵泡（FSH）。

The other cycle, the ovarian cycle, is all about the maturation of the follicle and egg, and it's actually what drives the menstrual cycle.

另一个周期，卵巢周期，是关于卵泡和卵子的成熟，这实际上是驱动月周期的原因。

With roughly 150 milligrams of epicatechin supplementation per day, the 6 middle-aged subjects saw a 16.6% myostatin decrease and a 49.2% follistatin increase.

每日 150 毫克的表儿茶补剂，使六位中年实验者的肌抑降 16.6%，卵泡抑则增长了 49.2%。

There are two other hormones also involved — the follicle-stimulating hormone, or FSH, and the luteinizing hormone, or LH.

另外还有两种——促卵泡（FSH）和黄生成（LH）。

It usually takes about a week for a dominant follicle to get selected, and after that happens, the rest of the follicles regress and die off.

优势卵泡的筛选大概要历一周；优势卵泡被募集后，其余的卵泡就会退化闭锁。
