摘      要：Antral follicles are present in the ovaries throughout gestation. These follicles are physically immature and cannot ovulate under the induction of LH/hCG. The purpose of the present study is to examine whether follicles in pregnant rat ovaries are capable of steroidogen-esis. StAR is believed to be the key regulator of steroid hormone biosynthesis.
