Theca Cells
Theca cells are specialized somatic cells found in the ovaries of female mammals. They are responsible for producing and secreting hormones, such as androgens and estrogens, which are important regulators of Female Reproductive Physiology. Theca cells are believed to play a role in the formation of ovarian follicles and the development of oocytes. In addition, they may also be involved in the pathophysiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Theca cells are an important component in female reproductive health and their research has enabled us to gain a better understanding of the underlying physiological and biochemical processes involved in fertility and reproductive health.
