| Comments | "Human ovaries acquire their lifetime quota of oocytes before birth when ovarian ageing begins. The store of primordial follicles starts to dwindle almost as soon as it is established because the process of follicular growth is not postponed until the commencement of ovulations at menarche (Lintern-Moore et al., 1974)." |
