ThepresenceofGRtranscriptsandGRimmunoreactivityinFSHcellsinteleost(6)andmammals(29)indicatesdirectactionofcortisolonFSHcells.AsabsolutecopiesofGRtranscriptsincreasedinFSHcellsduringmaturation,theinactivationofreproductivefunctionsbycortisol(30)mayoccurbyinhibitingFSHcellactivity.
Furthermore,theincreasedlevelsofGRandER tran-scriptsinMmalessuggestthatFSHcellshaveanimportantroleintheMstage,aswellasintheIMstage(31),whichsupportsourpreviousfindingsofincreasedGnRHreceptorsinFSHcellsinMmales(17).
