[Estradiol-17beta activates corticosteroid synthesis and inhibits proliferation in cultured porcine adrenocortical cells].
The influence of estradiol-17 beta on corticosteroids production and cell proliferation were studied in the cultured pig adrenocortical cells. Estradiol-17 beta considerably increased steroidogenesis, but inhibited cell proliferation. It is speculated, that cAMP mediated estradiol-17 beta effects in the adrenal cells.
