The interaction of follicular cells and steroidogenic activity of the ovary.
Investigations of ovarian cell types with the help of the tissue culture technique were presented. The importance of cell-to-cell communication and the interaction of the two cell types in producing steroid hormones by the ovary were discussed. Special attention was paid to the influence of prolactin on particular ovarian tissues. New concepts of the regulation of corpus luteum function were described.
