Hypothesis-generating for ANP in ovarian steroidogenesis; leaves open translation to human follicular function or clinical relevance.
Does ANP modulate steroidogenesis in rat ovarian granulosa cells in vitro?
ANP directly modulates progestin steroidogenesis in rat ovarian granulosa cells in vitro, suggesting a role in granulosa cell differentiation and follicular maturation.
Johnson et al. (1994) studied this question.
