Ontogeny of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor Gene Expression in Isolated Human Ovarian Follicles<sup>1</sup>
1 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
FSH stimulates antral follicles to grow, but its role in earlier stages, if any, is obscure. Our aim was to determine the follicle stage at which the FSH receptor (FSHr) gene is first expressed. We used a PCR-based strategy to analyze single follicles ranging from primordial to multilaminar stages after isolation from human ovaries. Ovarian tissue was obtained from 11 women (age range, 25-33 yr) undergoing...
