Nitric oxide inhibits steroidogenesis in cultured porcine granulosa cells.
Recent evidence suggested that nitric oxide (NO) acts as an important factor in a variety of physiological and pathological roles, including reproductive functions. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether NO might significantly induce any change in steroidogenesis in cultured porcine granulosa cells (PGC). An NO donor, NOC18, significantly suppressed the oestradiol release f...
متن کاملCultured Porcine Aortic Endothelial Cells
Hemodynamic shear stress alters the architecture and functions of vascular endothelial cells. We have previously shown that the synthesis of endothelin-1 (ET-1 ) in endothelial cells is increased by exposure to shear stress. Here we examined whether shear stress-induced alterations in cytoskeletal structures are responsible for increases in ET-1 synthesis in cultured porcine aortic endothelial ...
متن کاملLuteinization factor-stimulated steroidogenesis in porcine granulosa cells.
Luteinization stimulator (LS), an intrafollicular compound of preovulatory (5-8 mm) follicles, increased both the basal and gonadotropins-stimulated production of progesterone by immature (1-3 mm) granulosa cells. The mechanism by which LS enhance steroidogenesis was investigated by studying the modulation of progesterone biosynthesis from exogenous cholesterol and pregnenolone in cultured porc...
متن کاملLuteal macrophage conditioned medium affects steroidogenesis in porcine granulosa cells.
The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of luteal macrophage conditioned medium (LMCM) on progesterone and estradiol production by cultured granulosa cells. Porcine granulosa cells were cultured for 48 h with or without LMCM in the absence or presence of 100 ng/ml LH, FSH or prolactin. Progesterone and estradiol concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay. Granulosa cells were a...
متن کاملRelease of different relaxing factors by cultured porcine endothelial cells.
Experiments were performed to determine the effect of ouabain on the release of relaxing factor(s) from cultured endothelial cells, and its action on the effect of the relaxing factor(s) on arterial smooth muscle. A column of porcine aortic endothelial cells grown on microcarrier beads in suspension culture was perfused with modified Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution. The release of relaxing fa...
