Antiinflammatory Steroid Action in Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells (2004)
Journal Article
Hillier, S. G., Rae, M. T., Niven, D., Critchley, H. O. D., & Harlow, C. R. (2004). Antiinflammatory Steroid Action in Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 89(9), 4538-4544. https://doi.org/10.1210/jc.2003-032225

The human ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) is subject to serial injury and repair during ovulation, which is a natural inflammatory event. We asked whether there is a compensatory antiinflammatory component to this process, involving steroid hormone...
