Abstract
Ovarian functions are thought to be under the regulation of autocrine or paracrine control as well as endocrine control. Although the endocrine regulation of the ovary has been well described, little is known about the local intra-ovarian control. Considering that ovarian granulosa cells of developing follicles are confined to an isolated avascular environment and “cultured” in follicular fluid in vivo, substances concentrated in follicular fluid may play important roles in local intra-ovarian control.
