Abstract

media from cultured macrophages failed to stimulate steroid secretion by granulosa cells, suggesting that close proximity of the two cells is required for the effect on luteal cell function.Thus, it appears that macrophages within corpora lutea may play a role in maintaining progesterone secretion by luteal cells.
