Abstract
The transformation or differentiation of rhesus monkey preovulatory follicle granulosa cells to lutein cells in tissue culture was observed at the fine structural level. The morphological changes brought about by luteinization were correlated with an increase in progestin secretion. The fine structure of granulosa follicular cells and lutein cells in situ was described and compared to granulosa cells in vitro. At the fine structural and biochemical level, luteinization in culture is similar to that observed in vivo.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
