title: Action of vasopressin in superfused human granulosa cells in vitro.
abstract: Arginine-vasopressin as well as luteinizing hormone (LH)/follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulate progesterone release in superfused human granulosa cells. Extracellular administration of inositol triphosphate (10(-6) mol/l) or calcium ions (10(-4) mol/l) mimics the action of both arginine-vasopressin and LH/FSH and evokes progesterone secretion in superfused granulosa cells.
