Abstract excerpt
Several studies have suggested that the transcription factor GATA4 plays an important role in ovarian function. This study evaluated the effects of GATA4 on the regulation of the Cyp19 gene in primary rat granulosa cells under basal conditions and in response to stimulation by FSH. A significant increase in GATA4 mRNA, protein, and DNA binding activity was observed in rats treated with pregnant mare serum...
