[The role of steroids in the follicular development in mammals].
The purpose of this review is to know the regulation of ovaric steroidogenesis on follicular development, ovulation and corpora lutea. The modulating endocrine mechanisms involved in the gonadotrophin secretion concomitant with the ovaric steroidogenesis and the follicular develop induce a series of endocrinologic and morphologic events in order to produce a fully mature ovocyte able to be fecundated.
