| 1 | Effect of oxytocin on free intracellular Ca2+ levels and progesterone release by human granulosa-lutein cells. | Progesterone | oxytocin/neurophysin I prepropeptide | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | In the present study we used fura-2 microfluorimetry to investigate whether activation of the oxytocin receptor of cultured human granulosa-lutein cells causes intracellular calcium (Ca2+) signals and affects progesterone release. | Progesterone | oxytocin/neurophysin I prepropeptide | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | Moreover, oxytocin release induced by hCG and a stimulatory effect of oxytocin on the hCG-induced progesterone production during the period of maximal responsiveness of cultured cells were found. | Progesterone | oxytocin/neurophysin I prepropeptide | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | We, therefore, propose that oxytocin may have autocrine and/or paracrine functions in human granulosa-lutein cells, including fine-tuning of progesterone release. | Progesterone | oxytocin/neurophysin I prepropeptide | Homo sapiens |
