RESUMO
Knowledgement on ovary function regulation is advancing. Classic concept about endocrine regulation by sexual hormones and gonadotrophin has turning to an hypothesis: autocrine and paracrine factors as intra-ovarian regulators. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis are mainly driven by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteine hormone (LH) and steroids. On the other hand, the presence of intra-ovarian growth factors have an important role in modulation of gonadotrophin effects on ovarian functions. The influence of this factors on follicle growth are described.
