Aromatase activity in fetal gonads of mammals

J P Weniger. J Dev Physiol. 1990 Dec.

Abstract

This is a review of work demonstrating aromatase activity in both ovaries and testes of mammalian fetuses. Studies on the regulation of this enzyme activity by gonadotrophins and other factors have also been reviewed. Finally, the significance of aromatase activity in conjunction with the role of estrogen in ovarian and testicular development has been considered.
