Abstract

Chemical messengers synthesized both within and without the ovary control follicular and oocyte maturation and ovulation. The extraovarian messengers, whose roles are better defined, are the pituitary gonadotropins-luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Other hormones-insulin, cortisol, thyroxin, and prolactin have poorly defined “permissive” functions. Intraovarian chemical messengers include ovarian steroids (estrogen, progesterone, and androgens) and polypeptide regulators such as oocyte maturation inhibitor (OMI), luteinization inhibitor (LI) ovarian inhibin (folliculostatin), luteinizing hormone binding inhibitor (LHRBI), and a possible follicular fluid luteinizing promoting substance.
