Figure Lengend Snippet: Ovarian explant steroid hormone production across 28-day culture differs in response to different pituitary hormone concentrations. All 7 hormones (estrone, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, androstenedione, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)) over 28 days for ovaries in ( A ) G0, standard media, ( B ) G10, 1:1 physiologic ratio media, and ( C ) G30, 3:1 PCOS-like ratio media, respectively. ( D ) Estrogens (estrone + estradiol), ( E ) progesterone, and ( F ) androgens (testosterone + androstenedione + DHT + DHEA) across 28 days of culture. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. n = 11–12 samples/group.
Article Snippet: Estrone (E1, E-075), 17-β-estradiol (E2, E-060), progesterone (P, P-069), testosterone (T, T-037), androstenedione (A, A-075), 5-α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT, D-073), and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, D-063) purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (as Cerilliant brand) were used to fabricate hormone calibration standards.
