Brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in granulosa lutein cells
Abstract
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is thought to play a role in follicle activation and oocyte maturation. It is postulated that BDNF and its receptor, tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB), may also play a role in maintaining the corpus luteum. Therefore,human granulosa lutein cells (GLC) were obtained from women undergoing ovulation induction and treated with increasing concentrations of cAMP (0, 125, 500 and 1000 μmol/l). BDNF and …
