Incorporation and release of ³H-NE from small antral (SA), preovulatory (PO) and cystic follicular wall. In A is shown the amount of 3H-NE incorporated in follicle wall, In B is shown the release of ³H-NE induced by high potassium depolarization (black rectangles). In A results are expressed as dpm per 50 mg tissue and in B the release is expressed as a percentage of ³H-NE retained in the tissue at each interval studied. The first row upper numbers represent the total release of ³H-NE induced by potassium depolarization and the lower row represents the spontaneous release as percentage of radioactivity released before the depolarization stimulus. *= p < 0.05 vs Small antral (SA) and Preovulatory; & = p < 0.05 vs cystic
