摘要: The objective of the present study was to determine effects IGF-I and insulin on cell proliferation, LH receptors, basal LH-induced progesterone androstenedione production by bovine thecal cells. Cells from large (> or = 8mm) follicles were cultured for 1 2 d in medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) treated serum-free with IGF-I, insulin, and(or) LH. Treatment 30 100 ng/mL increased numbers absence regardless whether treatments initiated after exposure FCS. Co-treatment reduced stimulatory effect numbers.

These results indicate that may each play a significant role mitogenesis steroidogenesis during follicular development cattle glucose enhances these effects. Furthermore, synergism between increasing does not seem be mediated through rather, part,
