Abstract
To examine the role of FSH during follicular maturation in monkeys, serum FSH was suppressed during cycles on Days 1-4 i.p. by administration of charcoal-treated porcine follicular fluid (PFFl, crude inhibin-F). Following PFFl treatment, the putative dominant follicle was examined on Days 10-14. Granulosa cells were recovered from this follicle and cultured. Treatment of four monkeys with PFFl led to decreased size of the dominant follicle and a decrease in the number of granulosa cells recovered from the follicle. Serum FSH, but not LH, levels were decreased 50-80% in three of four monkeys. Pig serum (control) had no discernible effects.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
