Abstract The Hedgehog signaling pathway plays a crucial role in folliculogenesis; however, the association between FF-MAS oxysterol activity in folliculogenesis and the Hedgehog signaling pathway has not been revealed. The evaluation of FF-MAS activity in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with folliculogenesis disorder might provide a new approach to tackle follicular and oocyte maturation failure. The question is: does FF-MAS oxysterol affect granulosa cell (GC) proliferation? If so, is this effect facilitated through the Hedgehog pathway? To answer these questions, GCs were isolated from follicle fluids obtained from patients undergoing oocyte retrieval during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. After the isolated GCs were incubated in different cell culture media, the levels of Hedgehog pathway components (SMO, Gli1) were measured by using immunohistochemical methods, cytoELISA, and qRT-PCR. Meanwhile, cell proliferation rates were determined. Significant increases (p
