Which of the following options best describes the 2 cell - 2 hormone model of steroid hormone synthesis? Both thecal cells and granulosa cells of follicles secrete predominantly oestradiol prior to ovulation, and progesterone following formation of the corpus luteum. Thecal cells are responsible for synthesizing the female hormones that are released into the blood circulation, whereas granulosa cells synthesize the hormones that influence the maturation of the oocyte. FSH stimulates thecal cells to synthesize progesterone, which is then transported to granulosa cells that convert it to oestradiol. In antral follicles, LH stimulates thecal cells to synthesize androgens from cholesterol. FSH then stimulates the conversion of these androgens to oestradiol in the granulosa cells. In large preovulatory follicles, LH stimulates granulosa cells to synthesize progesterone directly from cholesterol.
