During the estrous cycle of mammals, a large number of follicles are recruited. Typically, only one follicle is selected for dominance and ovulation in monotocous (single-offspring) species per cycle, while only a few follicles are selected for dominance in polytocous (multiple-offspring) species. The vast majority of the remaining follicles undergo atresia. In recent years, significant progress has been made in research focusing on follicular dominance selection, although the underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in follicular development. This review summarizes the roles and mechanisms of IGF-1 in mammalian follicular development, focusing on its involvement in dominant follicle selection, promotion of follicular growth and development, inhibition of granulosa cell apoptosis, and maintenance of normal reproductive performance in female mammals.
