Significados de theca cell en inglés

In organ culture KL significantly increased the number of theca cell layers around primary follicles.

Collagen IV was abundant in the theca cell compartment with low-level expression in the stroma and granulosa cells.

Fibronectin staining in the stroma and theca cell compartment increased throughout follicle development, while staining in the granulosa cell compartment decreased.

In addition, there is likely a primary theca cell defect that accounts for the majority of excess androgen production in this disorder.

Laminin was localized primarily to the theca cell compartment, with a defined ring at the exterior of the follicular granulosa cells marking the basement membrane.

The results in this study suggest that granulosa cell-derived KL appears to promote the formation of theca cell layers around small (i.e., primary) ovarian follicles.

Factors that control recruitment of theca cells from ovarian stromal-interstitial cells are important for early follicle development in the ovary.

During recruitment, theca cells organize into distinct layers around early developing follicles and establish essential cell-cell interactions with granulosa cells.

Recruitment of theca cells from ovarian stromal stem cells is proposed to involve cellular proliferation, as well as induction of theca cell-specific functional markers.
