The cells in the ovarian follicle that produce estrogen are the granulosa cells. These cells are rich in smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which is abundant in steroidogenic cells and is essential for the synthesis of steroid hormones, including estrogen. The presence of this organelle allows granulosa cells to efficiently convert androgens into estrogens through enzymatic processes.
