A granulosa cell multilocular cystadenoma was removed from a 7-yr.-old girl who showed breast growth and had a history of almost continuous vaginal bleeding for 9 days. Tissue, which microscopically was shown to consist almost exclusively of granulosa cells, was incubated with [4-14C]-DHA and [7-3H]pregnenolone in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution. The ability of this tissue to synthesize oestrogens from these precursors was investigated. These results and those of pre- and post-operative urinary steroid estimations are discussed in relation to current theories of steroid biosynthesis.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
