Which outcome results when a granulosa cell loses its ability to express aromatase during the mid-follicular phase?

💡 Explanation

Reduced aromatase hinders the conversion of androgens to estrogens (estradiol) in granulosa cells due to impaired steroidogenesis; therefore, local estradiol concentrations decrease rather than other hormonal cascades being directly affected; this impacts follicle maturation.
