Abstract

To evaluate estrogens (Es)--E2, estrone (E1), and estriol--and androgens--T and androstendione (A)-effect on P, prostaglandin (PG) F2α, PGE2, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) release and on VEGF expression in human luteal cells. To elucidate whether androgens effects were direct or mediated by their conversion in Es, an aromatase inhibitor was used. Finally, the luteal effect of the non-aromatizable dihydrotestosterone was evaluated.
