1 | Theca cells were obtained from prepubertal gilts and cultured under serum-free conditions for 48 h. Theca cell androstenedione production under basal and luteinizing hormone (LH)-stimulated conditions was significantly increased by adding insulin (1 microgram/ml) to the culture medium. | Androstenedione | insulin | Homo sapiens |
2 | Treatment of basal and LH-stimulated cultures with increasing concentrations of insulin (0.001-10 micrograms/ml) caused dose- and time-dependent increments in androstenedione production, but the effect was independent of the dose of LH employed. | Androstenedione | insulin | Homo sapiens |
3 | The ability of insulin to enhance thecal cell androstenedione production was mimicked by somatomedin C, but not by relaxin. | Androstenedione | insulin | Homo sapiens |
4 | Insulin treatment also caused dose-dependent increments in forskolin- and prostaglandin E2-stimulated accumulation of extracellular cAMP and androstenedione. | Androstenedione | insulin | Homo sapiens |
5 | Insulin also increased both the basal and LH-stimulated production of progesterone and its precursor pregnenolone, in addition to the increases in androstenedione. | Androstenedione | insulin | Homo sapiens |
