Specific hormones can rapidly and dramatically affect the expression of ovarian follicular cells. This cross section of a rat ovary shows how, within 4 hours of human chorionic gonadotropin administration, progesterone receptor (brown precipitate) is upregulated in a luteinized preovulatory follicle. See Agca et al. (this issue) for other early‐to‐mid response genes affected by lutenization.
