[Multiple correlation analysis of the ratio between the sex hormone content of the peripheral blood and follicular fluid and the size of the follicle].

A multiple correlative analysis of the relationship between the follicle size, steroid hormone concentration in the follicular fluid and their peripheral blood content during different stages of the follicle growth was performed. It was suggested that both the growth of dominant follicle and the change in steroid hormone concentration are non-linear processes. It was demonstrated that steroid hormone content in the peripheral blood reflects steroidogenic activity of the dominant follicle thecal tissue.
