Abstract
Precise programming of the expression of the steroidogenic enzymes in the theca, interstitial, granulosa, and luteal cells of the ovary achieves the physiological pattern of sex steroid secretion observed during the estrous cycle (1, 2). The physiological changes in estrogen and progesterone secretion are accompanied by characteristic morphological modifications reflecting the various stages of the development and growth of ovarian follicles and corpora lutea.
