Follicle-stimulating hormone regulation of estrogen biosynthesis in the adult rodent ovary requires beta-catenin (CTNNB1), but whether CTNNB1 is involved in FSH-induced estrogen production in cattle is unknown. To elucidate the effect of FSH in regulating specific wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site (WNT)/CTNNB1 pathway components in bovine folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis, granulosa cells and follicular fluid were collected from large antral follicles (8 to 22 mm) from ovaries containing stage-III corpora lutea (d 11 to 17 of an estrous cycle). Follicles were categorized as high estradiol (n = 3; >= 25 ng/mL) or low estradiol (n = 3;
