Fine and balanced regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis are key to achieve ovarian follicle development from the primordial to the preovulatory stage and therefore assure female reproductive function. While gonadotropins are the major and most recognized regulators of follicle cell growth and function, other factors, both systemic and local, play equally important roles. This work is aimed at evaluating the effects of thyroid hormones (THs) on human granulosa luteinized (hGL) viability.
