1 Similarly, hCG-induced production of these steroids was decreased by TIM and TCM. Steroids hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) Homo sapiens
2 These results suggest: (1) that the thymus contains a factor with a molecular weight of approximately 28 kDa which interacts with hCG in ovarian cells, (2) that the thymus can release active substances which modify steroid secretion by the ovary in vitro and (3) that the reticuloepithelial cells of the thymus are involved in the secretion of factors which modulate the stimulation by hCG of steroidogenesis in ovarian cells.
