21-Hydroxylase-derived steroids in follicles of nonobese women undergoing ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) positively correlate with lipid content of luteinized granulosa cells (LGCs) as a source of cholesterol for steroid synthesis
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2013-3204

CONTEXT: Mineralocorticoid synthesis by the nonhuman primate periovulatory follicle enhances luteinization. Whether a similar event occurs in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) is unknown. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study w…

A novel approach to quantifying ovarian cell lipid content and lipid accumulation in vitro by confocal microscopy in lean women undergoing ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF)
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-013-9976-2

PURPOSE: To quantify intracellular lipid levels in cumulus cells (CCs) and mural granulosa cells (MGCs) of lean women undergoing gonadotropin therapy for in vitro fertilization (IVF), based upon different cell preparation methods. METHODS:…

Estradiol regulation of oviductin/oviduct-specific glycoprotein messenger ribonucleic acid expression in human oviduct mucosal cells in vitro
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2003.08.016

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether oviduct mucosal cell culture with exogenous 17beta E(2) supports the continued production of oviductin, a putative embryotrophic protein. DESIGN: Semiquantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain react…

In vivo regulation of mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (KDR and flt-1) in the human oviduct
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2003.06.025

OBJECTIVE: To examine the localization of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGF-R) and the changes in VEGF-R messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression in various regions of the oviduct from fertile women throughout the ovula…

Vascular endothelial growth factor in the human oviduct: localization and regulation of messenger RNA expression in vivo
Biology of reproduction ·doi:10.1095/biolreprod.102.012674

In this study, we examined the localization of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the changes in VEGF mRNA expression in various regions of the oviduct in fertile women throughout the ovulatory cycle. Oviduct tissue was collected…
