Steroidogenesis in Theca Cells of Chicken Follicles
The aim of this study was to assess and compare the steroidogenic response to luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in cells of the theca interna and theca externa isolated from follicles at different stages of maturation. Cells of the theca interna and theca externa isolated from the largest, second largest and third-fifth largest preovulatory follicles of the chicken...
متن کاملP-25: Characterization of Sheep Ovarian Multipotent Theca Stem Cells
Background Theca cells play important roles during folliculogenesis. They synthesize androgens, provide crosstalk with granulosa cells and oocytes during development, and provide structural support of the growing follicle to produce a mature and fertilizable oocyte. In children patients who are going to be ovariectomy, follicogenesis is at early stage and thus the follicles need to be mature in...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide (LPS) Inhibits Steroid Production in Theca Cells of Bovine Follicles In Vitro: Distinct Effect of LPS on Theca Cell Function in Pre- and Post-selection Follicles
In postpartum dairy cows, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli causes uterine inflammation and leads to ovarian dysfunction. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of LPS on steroid production in bovine theca cells at different stages of follicular development. Theca cells isolated from pre- and post-selection follicles (PRFs, <8.5 mm ...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of Ovarian Theca and Interstitial Gland Cells in Mice
It has been established that two developmentally and functionally distinct cell types emerge within the mammalian testis and adrenal gland throughout life. Fetal and adult types of steroidogenic cells (i.e., testicular Leydig cells and adrenocortical cells) develop in the prenatal and postnatal period, respectively. Although the ovary synthesizes steroids postnatally, the presence of fetal-type...
متن کاملHuman ovarian theca cells are a source of renin.
Human ovarian follicular fluid contains renin-like activity. In normal women, circulating levels of prorenin, the biosynthetic precursor of renin (EC 3.4.23.15), change in parallel with changes in progesterone during the menstrual cycle. Therefore, the ovary has been implicated as a source of plasma prorenin. In the present studies, we report the finding of high concentrations of prorenin in hu...
