Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor is Expressed in Rat Corpus Luteum
Abstract
In the course of the development of the ovarian follicle and differentiation of granulosa cells into corpus luteum (CL), extensive changes in the microvasculature of these structures take place. This suggests the local release of angiogenic factors. In the present work we examined whether a newly described secreted vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is expressed in normal rat ovary by in situ hybridization. Our results demonstrate the expression of VEGF in the CL but not in mural granulosa cells, suggesting a temporal relation between VEGF expression and growth of capillary vessels. The hybridization pattern in the CL was consistent with localization of VEGF message to luteal cells. Expression of VEGF was detected also in cumulus oophorus cells. These findings suggest that VEGF is involved in the process of CL angiogenesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
