Abstract

Enzyme activities were measured in granulosa cells from small (<2mm), medium (2-5mm) and large
sized (>5mm) follicles of goat ovaries. Acid and alkaline phosphatases and lactate dehydrogenase increased in the
granulosa cells from small to large follicles. Levels of enzyme 3~ HSDH was very low in small and medium sized
follicles and it increased dramatically in the granulosa cells oflarge follicles. The changes in enzyme systems have
been correlated with the metabolism and the steroid biosynthesis in the granulosa cells of the maturing follicles.
