Abstract:
:The authors studied the role of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in luteal steroidogenesis by replacing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) infusion with pure FSH 48 hours after ovulation in two hypogonadotropic patients. Plasma progesterone (P) and estradiol (E2) decreased after FSH administration. Human luteal cells were cultured for 48 hours in the presence and absence of FSH, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), testosterone (T), or dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (Bu2cAMP). In the presence of T, E2 synthesis increased significantly, indicating an active aromatase system in these cells. Human chorionic gonadotropin as well as Bu2cAMP significantly increased E2, T, and P synthesis. Follicle-stimulating hormone did not stimulate luteal E2, T, or P synthesis. The authors conclude that FSH does not sustain luteal steroidogenesis. Moreover, the in vitro findings reveal that hCG modulation of luteal E2 synthesis is mediated principally by an increase in androgen precursors. These in vivo and in vitro results confirm a crucial role for luteinizing hormone (LH) in the maintenance of luteal steroidogenesis.
