Insulin enhances luteinizing hormone-stimulated steroidogenesis by porcine theca cells.
TL;DR: It has been shown recently that insulin enhances differentiation of rat, pig, and human granulosa cells, and if insulin also plays a role in the regulation of theca cell steroidogenesis, then insulin action is exerted, at least in part, at a site(s) proximal to cyclic adenosine 3'5'-monophosphate (cAMP) generation.
Lack of Ovarian Responsiveness to Gonadotropic Hormones in Infantile Rats Sterilized with Busulfan
TL;DR: The presence of germ cells is a prerequisite for the normal development of steroidogenic function in the rat ovary, suggesting that normal ovarian steroidogenesis is also suppressed in treated animals in vivo.

Localization of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor in the rat corpus luteum, and EGF and transforming growth factor-alpha stimulation of luteal cell steroidogenesis in vitro.
TL;DR: The cellular distribution of the EGF receptor (EGF-R) in the rat corpus luteum (CL) is investigated by immunocytochemical staining, and the effects of EGF and TGF-alpha on progesterone and 20 alpha-dihydroprogesterone production in cultures of luteal cells are investigated.

Secretion of plasminogen activator by cultured rat endometrial stromal cells from uteri differentially sensitized for the decidual cell reaction
TL;DR: PA activity secreted by the cultured endometrial stromal cells, although controlled in part by the endocrine milieu to which they were exposed prior to culture, does not simulate decidualization in vitro and, therefore, that PA activity is not a marker for deciduality in vitro.
