Induction of Early Growth Response Protein-1 Gene Expression in the Rat Ovary in Response to an Ovulatory Dose of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin*
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Granulosa cells in a mature ovarian follicle have an abundance of LH/hCG receptors that respond rapidly to an ovulatory surge in gonadotropins. Within minutes, membrane signal transduction sets in motion metabolic changes that lead to follicular rupture. This study provides evidence that the initial ovarian response to such an ovulatory stimulus includes induction of the immediate-early transcription factor gene...
