Effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on number of viable theca cells isolated from post-selection follicles (>8.5 mm; a–c) and pre-selection follicles (<8.5 mm; d–f) during term 1 (white circles, 0–48 h) and term 2 (black triangles, 48–96 h). Theca cells were stimulated with 2.5 ng/ml luteinizing hormone (LH; a, d), 100 ng/ml estradiol (E2; b, e) or LH and E2 (c, f). All values are means ± standard error of the mean of three independent experiments.
