Inhibins and activins in pregnancy
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2004Human placenta, decidua, and fetal membranes are the major sites of production and secretion of inhibin A and activin A in maternal serum, amniotic fluid, and umbilical cord blood. These tissues also express follistatin-related gene and betaglycan, the binding proteins of activin A and inhibin A, respectively, recently identified. They show a different

Activin A-, AB- and B-responding cells were characterized by their responsiveness in cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+])i) to four hypothalamic releasing hormones, CRH, GHRH, TRH and GnRH. First, rat pituitary cells responding to activin A, AB and B in [Ca2+]i were determined in a mixed population of pituitary cells. The populations of the activin A-, AB-,

Activins and Inhibins and Their Signaling
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004Abstract: Activins and inhibins, which were discovered by virtue of their abilities to stimulate or inhibit, respectively, the secretion of FSH, are members of the transforming growth factor‐β (TGFβ) superfamily and exert a broad range of effects on the diffentiation, proliferation and functions of numerous cell types.

Activins, members of the TGF-β family, are multifunctional growth and differentiation factors. Activins regulate glucose/energy metabolism by promoting the differentiation of insulin-producing and -responsive cells, and regulating function of the differentiated cells.

Inhibins, activins and follistatins
Journal of Steroid Biochemistry, 1989Inhibins are proteins consisting of two subunits, 18 K alpha- and 14 K beta-subunits, linked by disulfide bonds. Two forms of inhibins A and B consisting of a common alpha-subunit and a similar but distinguishable beta-subunit specifically suppress the secretion and cell content of FSH in a delayed action.
