Abstract
The differential steroidogenic ability of macrophage secretions from PCO rats is associated to the in vitro testosterone environment. Testosterone, probably acting on macrophage AR, induces a greater release of TNFα, modifying ovarian response by increasing androstenedione and slightly decreasing estradiol without affecting progesterone.
