An anti-inflammatory role for glucocorticoids in the ovaries?

Roles of glucocorticoids in the direct regulation of ovarian function are poorly understood. This opinion paper highlights: (1) the inflammatory nature of the ovulatory process; (2) the contributions of cytokines and prostaglandins (hence inflammation) to ovulation; (3) the development-related patte...

description Roles of glucocorticoids in the direct regulation of ovarian function are poorly understood. This opinion paper highlights: (1) the inflammatory nature of the ovulatory process; (2) the contributions of cytokines and prostaglandins (hence inflammation) to ovulation; (3) the development-related pattern of 11 β-hydroxysteroid (11 βHSD) isoform expression (hence glucocorticoid metabolism) that occurs in ovarian follicles; and (4) the attribution of general anti-inflammatory properties of glucocorticoids to their interference with prostaglandin synthesis. We interpret the evidence cited to hypothesise that corticosteroids serve an anti-inflammatory role during ovulation, thereby promoting rapid healing of the wound left by follicular rupture. Other possible levels of glucocorticoid action in the ovaries are also considered.
