Oleic acid extensively changed the morphology of cultured bovine granulosa cells.
Oleic acid induced the expression of CD36 and SLC27A, and lipid droplet formation.
Oleic acid down regulated the expression of CYP19A1, STAR, CYP11A1 and HSD3B1.
Oleic acid reduced estradiol and progesterone levels along with FSHR and LHCGR.
Effects of oleic acid might be due to the reduced responsiveness to FSH stimulation.
