Granulosa cells as sources of reactive oxygen species
Objective. To summarize the data available in the literature on the sources of reactive oxygen species in the granulosa cells and their physiological and pathophysiological significance for the female reproductive system.Shestakova M.A., Proskurnina E.V., Shcherbakova L.N., Panina O.B.
Material and methods. Publications from the PubMed database were used to make this review.
Results. The review considers in detail the prooxidant and antioxidant components of free radical homeostasis in the granulosa cells. It gives data on the impact of the oxidative status of granulosa on the success of an in vitro fertilization procedure.
Conclusion. Free radicals produced by granulosa cells play a dual role in ovarian homeostasis, by simultaneously participating in intracellular cascades and exerting a damaging effect on follicle cells. The oxidative status of granulosa should be taken into account when working out new assisted reproductive technology programs.
