Activity of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase associated with progesterone production in bovine granulosa cells cultured under different concentrations of serum, insulin-like growth factor I, and gonadotropin [PDF]
, 2014 Three-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) is the enzyme responsible for progesterone production. This study aimed to determine whether 3β-HSD activity can be shown to reflect progesterone production by granulosa cells cultured under different serum

Mouse serum facilitates the expansion of the follicular cavity regardless of the estrous cycle phase
Journal of Ovarian ResearchObjective In investigating the effect of alcohol intake on the in vitro development of preantral follicles, physiological differences across estrous cycle phases in mice probably affect the results; therefore, it is necessary to determine whether serum ...

RFRP3 influences basal lamina degradation, cellular death, and progesterone secretion in cultured preantral ovarian follicles from the domestic cat. [PDF]
, 2019 The hypothalamic neuropeptide RFRP3 can suppress hypothalamic GnRH neuron activation and inhibit gonadotropin release from the anterior pituitary. RFRP3 is also produced locally in the ovary and can inhibit steroidogenesis and follicle development in ...
