GGPP-Mediated Protein Geranylgeranylation in Oocyte Is Essential for the Establishment of Oocyte-Granulosa Cell Communication and Primary-Secondary Follicle Transition in Mouse Ovary. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Folliculogenesis is a progressive and highly regulated process, which is essential to provide ova for later reproductive life, requires the bidirectional communication between the oocyte and granulosa cells.

Extraovarian granulosa cell tumor
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2009 Extraovarian granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is a very uncommon tumor, assumed to arise from the ectopic gonadal tissue along the embryonal route of the genital ridge. One such rare case of extraovarian GCT was encountered in a 58-year-old female who presented with a large intraabdominal lump.

Regulatory Mechanisms Underlying the Expression of Prolactin Receptor in Chicken Granulosa Cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Prolactin (PRL) has both pro- and anti-gonadal roles in the regulation of avian ovarian functions through its interaction with the receptor (PRLR).

The effect of total flavonoids of Epimedium on granulosa cell development in laying hens
Poultry Science, 2020 To investigate the impact of total flavonoids of Epimedium (TFE) on the development of follicles of laying hens, 3 types of follicles including primary, prehierarchical, and preovulatory follicles were selected to obtain the follicular granulosa cells ...

Proprotein convertase furin regulates apoptosis and proliferation of granulosa cells in the rat ovary. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Folliculogenesis is tightly controlled by a series of hormones, growth factors and cytokines, many of which are secreted as proproteins and require processing by proteases before becoming functional.

The adipokines progranulin and omentin – novel regulators of basic ovarian cell functions
Reproductive Biology and EndocrinologyThe present study aimed to examine the effects of progranulin and omentin on basic ovarian cell functions. For this purpose, we investigated the effects of the addition of progranulin and omentin (0, 0.1, 1, or 10 ng/ml) on the viability, proliferation ...
