El. Gregoraszczuk et S. Stoklosowa, CYTOSKELETAL PROTEINS AND STEROIDOGENESIS IN GRANULOSA AND THECA CELLS OF PORCINE FOLLICLE, Netherlands journal of zoology, 45(1-2), 1995, pp. 169-171
The participation of microtubules and microfilaments in steroidogenesi
s of both theca (T) and granulosa (G) cells in mono- and coculture was
assayed by monitoring the effect of colchicine (Col) and cytochalasin
B (Cyt B) on estradiol (E2) secretion during 24 hours of culture. In
coculture Col and Cyt stimulated E2 secretion, which suggests that bot
h microtubules and microfilamentes are involved in E2 secretion.
