Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates prostaglandin biosynthesis and steroidogenesis in preovulatory (PO) follicles prior to ovulation. Since the ovulatory process shares many similarities with an inflammatory reaction, mediators of the infla…

LH alters ovarian steroidogenesis via adenylate cyclase (AC) activation and cAMP production. Although LH also initiates ovarian follicle rupture, evidence is lacking for involvement of cAMP in this process. This work explores the involvemen…
