Abstract excerpt
Ovulation is a precisely timed process by which a mature oocyte is released from an ovarian follicle. This process is initiated by the pituitary surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), is temporally associated with transcriptional regulation of numerous genes, and is presumed to involve the synthesis and/or activation of specific proteases that degrade the follicle wall. The progesterone receptor (PR), a nuclear...
