Resumo

Isolated rabbit ovarian follicles were incubated with HCG and/or melatonin, serotonin, 5-hydroxy-dl-tryptophan or N-acetyl serotonin. Melatonin alone significantly decreased the accumulation of steroids elicited by HCG stimulation. Follicles did not bind labelled melatonin whereas the specific binding of [125I]-HCG was 4.11 pmol per mg protein.
