Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods of increasing oocyte production in a mammal. More specifically, the specification describes methods and compositions for inducing follicular maturation using a PDE inhibitor. The inhibitor may be used alone at high doses. Alternatively, the follicular maturation is achieved by combining a low dose of FSH with the PDE inhibitor treatment.
