Research Papers that Mention the Interaction
“Enzymatically dispersed thecal cells from 3- to 6-mm follicles of prepubertal gilts were incubated at 150,000 cells/ml with a maximally effective dose of LH (250 ng/ml) for 24 h. Mevinolin (3-50 microM) caused dose-dependent inhibition of androstenedione production.”
“ Mevinolin (12 microM) inhibited the production of 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone from progesterone and that of androstenedione from 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, while 25-hydroxycholesterol to progesterone and pregnenolone to progesterone conversions were unimpaired.”
Mevinolin (lovastatin) inhibits androstenedione production by porcine ovarian theca cells at the level of the 17 alpha-hydroxylase:C-17,20-lyase complex.
