Expression of genes encoding mineralocorticoid biosynthetic enzymes and the mineralocorticoid receptor, and levels of mineralocorticoids in the bovine follicle and corpus luteum

Unlike sex steroids, mineralocorticoids have attracted limited attention in ovarian physiology. Recent studies on primates have indicated possible local synthesis and action of mineralocorticoids in the ovary. Here, we examined developmental changes in the levels of mineralocorticoids and expression...
