Effect of Hyperin and Icariin on steroid hormone secretion in rat ovarian granulosa cells

ConclusionsThese results showed that Hyperin and Icariin can promote the secretion of E2 and P through up-regulation of CYP17 and CYP19. Frequently used Chinese herbs like Cuscuta Chinensis Lam and Epimedium Brevicornu maxim, which contain Hyperin and Icariin, could improve the ovarian endocrine function through these effects.
