Zusammenfassung
Introduction: The FMR1 gene (Fragile X Mental Retardation 1) and its protein (FMRP) are expressed in granulosa cells of human folliculogenesis probably involved in translation control during oocyte maturation. FSH is an important factor to stimulate granulosa cell proliferation/differentiation at antral phase. Question of the study: Pilot study aimed to evaluate gene expression of FMR1 in primary granulosa cell cultures in comparison to a granulosa cellular model system (COV4343) whether depending on FSH stimulation. Material and methods: RNA from luteinized granulosa cells (after ovarian puncture by IVF techniq…
