Popis: The permeability of the follicles of sexually immature noninbred rats was studied by intravital contact fluorescence microscopy. Fluorescein and trypaflavine did not penetrate into the ovum of the primordial follicles but they penetrated rapidly into the ovum and follicular fluid of developed follicles. Since development of the follicles in the sexually immature animal invariably ends in atresia, it is concluded that the process of atresia is connected with disturbances of the barrier function of the follicular epithelium.
