TLDR
A two-cell-type model for the production of follicular estrogens, the thecal layer possibly contributing to estradiol-17β production by synthesizing androgens which are transferred to the granulosa layer and aromatized to est radiol- 17β is suggested.

Sulfation and uptake of the maturation-inducing steroid, 17α,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one by rainbow trout ovarian follicles.

TL;DR: Rainbow trout ovarian follicles were incubated in vitro with tritiated 17,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one to indicate that the processes of sulfation and uptake of [3H]-17,20 β-P were related to each other and led to the hypothesis that, when cold 17, 20β-P is added to the medium, it reduces the proportion of [ 3H], which is sulfated and thus allows more free

Membrane receptor cross talk in gonadotropin-, IGF-I-, and insulin-mediated steroidogenesis in fish ovary: An overview.

TL;DR: Investigation on the mechanism of signal transduction regulating fish ovarian steroidogenesis have shown that multiple, apparently independent signalTransduction pathways are needed to convey the message of single hormone or growth factor.

Autoradiographic localization of gonadotrophin receptors in ovaries of the common carp, Cyprinus carpio L.

TL;DR: No binding of gonadotrophin was found in previtellogenic oocytes but binding appeared with the first indications of vitellogenesis and the relationship between binding location, steroidogenesis, and oocyte maturation is discussed.

Hepatic Estrogen Receptors in the Japanese Eel, Anguilla japonica : Characterization and Changes in Binding Capacity during Artificially-induced Sexual Maturation

TL;DR: The changes in cER levels represent increased hepatic responsiveness to estrogenic stimuli during artificial maturation, and Lack of change in nER levels may be a feature of Artificial maturation compared to sexual maturation in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in plasma steroid levels during oocyte development in Indian shad, Tenualosa ilisha (Hamilton, 1822): role of gonadotropins on in vitro steroid production and development of oocyte maturational competence.

TL;DR: In vitro acquisition of in vitro oocyte maturational competence (OMC) was developed by the addition of HCG in culture medium and inhibited LH-induced development of OMC, indicating the requirement of de novo protein synthesis for this process.

Ovarian follicular development in the rat: hormone receptor regulation by estradiol follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.

TL;DR: The results indicated that follicular development and granulosa cell differentiation are dependent on steroid-protein hormone regulation of hormone specific receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Granulosa cell maturation in the rat: increased binding of human chorionic gonadotropin following treatment with follicle-stimulating hormone in vivo.

TL;DR: Results suggest that FSH administered in vivo may act on granulosa cells to induce or activate receptors for I_H (hCG) and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity as well as stimulate follicle-stimulating hormone in ovarian development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Site of production of oestrogen in rat ovary as studied in micro-transplants.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the theca interna gland cells and the interstitial gland cells most probably constitute the oestrogen-producing system in the ovary but that these cells are functionally dependent on the system granulosa-corpus luteum cells.

Seasonal changes in plasma cortisol, testosterone and oestradiol-17β in the plaice, Pleuronectes platessa L

TL;DR: Plasma cortisol levels are at a high during the season of poor feeding when mobilisation of energy reserves is likely to be greatest and steroid concentration in males showed small significant seasonal changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Androgen production by theca and granulosa isolated from proestrous rat follicles.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the theca is the site of follicular androgen production and that LH regulates androgen secretion by rat ovarian follicles, and provides the androgen precursor needed for follicular estradiol-17beta synthesis.
