Effect of a NADPH generating system on the steroidogenic response in rat luteal cells

The effect of a NADPH generating system (NADPH-GS) on the function of rat luteal cells was studied. Cells were obtained from pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and human choirionic gonadotropin (hCG) primed immature rats and further incubated with 3 NADPH-GS. This system produced an increase in...
