Role of calcium in the control of steroidogenesis in preovulatory ovarian follicles of the goldfish
Abstract
The possible involvement of calcium in the regulation of steroidogenesis in the goldfish was investigated using preovulatory ovarian follicles incubated in vitro. Incubation of follicles in media deficient in calcium impaired testosterone production in response to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in both the presence and the absence of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX. Similarly, addition of calcium channel antagonists (verapamil, …
