Effects of fenvalerate on steroidogenesis in cultured rat granulosa cells.
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to examine the in vitro effects of fenvalerate on steroid production and steroidogenic enzymes mRNA expression level in rat granulosa cells. METHODS Using primary cultured rat granulosa cells (rGCs) as model, fenvalerate of various concentrations (0, 1, 5, 25, 125, 625 micromol/L) was added to the medium for 24 h. In some cases, optimal concentrations of 22(R...
متن کاملExcessive levels of diverse phytoestrogens can modulate steroidogenesis and cell migration of KGN human granulosa-derived tumor cells
Phytoestrogens are plant-derived estrogen-like compounds that are increasingly used for their suggested health promoting properties, even by healthy, young women. However, scientific concerns exist regarding potential adverse effects on female reproduction. In this study, naringenin (NAR), 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN), genistein (GEN), coumestrol (COU), quercetin (QUE) and resveratrol (RSV) up-reg...
متن کاملExtracellular matrix regulates ovine granulosa cell survival, proliferation and steroidogenesis: relationships between cell shape and function.
The extracellular matrix (ECM), constituting the follicular basal lamina and present also between follicular cells and in the follicular fluid, is believed to regulate granulosa cell (GC) function during follicular development. Ovine GCs isolated from small (1-3 mm in diameter) or large (4-7 mm in diameter) antral follicles were cultured on various pure ECM components (type I collagen, fibronec...
متن کاملEvidence that nitric oxide inhibits steroidogenesis in cultured rat granulosa cells.
1. A few studies have shown that nitric oxide may exert cytotoxic and/or steroidogenic effects on cultured ovarian cells but the source of this factor within the ovary remains equivocal. 2. In this study we have investigated the effects of nitric oxide on progesterone secretion, cell viability and cell morphology of cultured rat granulosa/lutein cells and examined whether granulosa cells are an...
متن کاملSignaling Mechanism of Fsh and Tgfβ1 in Stimulating Steroidogenesis in Rat Ovarian Granulosa Cells
Previous studies demonstrate that transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) augmented FSH-induced progesterone production in rat ovarian granulosa cells. The post-receptor signaling relaying FSH action rests mainly on cAMP followed by protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent and/or PKA-independent pathway possibly involving phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K). This study was conducted to investigate the r...
