Ovarian follicular development was examined in the cycling rat using histological techniques. The number and size distribution of follicles was determined for each day of the estrous cycle. While the number of follicles in the early stages of growth did not appear to vary dramatically throughout the estrous cycle, the final stages of growth and differentiation showed great variation throughout the cycle. No 390-500 .mu.m follicles were seen on proestrus, but many appeared the next day, suggesting that there was discontinuous follicle movement into the largest size range. Follicular atresia was most marked in follicles 200-400 .mu.m in diameter suggesting that there may be a critical stage during follicular development when most follicles become atretic unless rescued.
