Human GCs were isolated from preovulatory follicular fluid aspirated from 34 women undergoing in vitro fertilization at the University Women's Hospital of Tubingen. PG and E2 production was measured in the presence and absence of Me, propranolol, LH or FSH using radioimmunoassay. Statistical analysis of the data was performed by ANOVA and Newman-Keuls test. Me stimulated E2 secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Propranolol did not cause any change in E2 secretion, and when given with Me, it only partially blocked but could not entirely prevent E2 output. There was no statistically significant effect of Me on PG production when Me was administered at concentrations between 10(-4) and 10(-8) M. However, at 10(-3) M Me significantly suppressed PG output of granulosa cells. LH and FSH significantly stimulated the secretion of both steroid hormones. Me significantly reduced LH- and FSH-induced E2 secretion, as well as LH-stimulated PG output, while it caused only a slight, yet significant decrease in PG secretion. In the superfused GC system, FSH and LH resulted in a significant stimulatory effect on PG release. Me did not modify the stimulatory effect of FSH on PG, while it caused some delay in LH-stimulated PG release. Propranolol and Me had no stimulatory effect on PG release. On the basis of our results we suggest that Me has a direct modulatory effect on basal E2 and gonadotropin-stimulated E2 and PG secretion of human GCs. The observed effect may play a physiological role in the regulation of GC function during the menstrual cycle.}, year = {2001}, eissn = {1423-002X}, pages = {198-202} } @article{MTMT:1538254, title = {Influence of nicotine, cotinine, anabasine and cigarette smoke extract on human granulosa cell progesterone and estradiol synthesis}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1538254}, author = {Gőcze, Péter and Szabo, I and Freeman, DA}, doi = {10.3109/09513599909167565}, journal-iso = {GYNECOL ENDOCRINOL}, journal = {GYNECOLOGICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY}, volume = {13}, unique-id = {1538254}, issn = {0951-3590}, year = {1999}, eissn = {1473-0766}, pages = {266-272} } @article{MTMT:1176825, title = {Influence of nicotine on progesterone and estradiol production of cultured human granulosa cells.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1176825}, author = {Bódis, József and Hanf, V and Török, Attila and Tinneberg, HR and Borsay, P and Szabo, I}, journal-iso = {EARLY PREGNANCY}, journal = {EARLY PREGNANCY - BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE}, volume = {3}, unique-id = {1176825}, issn = {1537-6583}, abstract = {The purpose of this study was to investigate the direct action of one of the main constituents of cigarette smoke on corpus luteum function. Progesterone and estradiol production were measured in the presence and absence of nicotine as free base or bitartrate salt with or without luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulation using radioimmunoassay in an in vitro granulosa cell culture system. Human granulosa cells were obtained from 19 patients undergoing in vitro fertilization embryo transfer treatment for infertility at the University Women's Hospital, Tubinge, Germany. Nicotine free base augmented estradiol secretion and inhibited progesterone secretion by human granulosa cells in a dose-dependent manner. Nicotine bitartrate had little effect on steroid secretion. If granulosa cells were stimulated with LH, both nicotine preparations suppressed estradiol secretion, however, only nicotine bitartrate additionally inhibited progesterone secretion. The results suggest that cigarette smoking specifically affects the control mechanisms of intraovarian processes which are responsible for normal luteal function.}, year = {1997}, pages = {34-37} }
