Activin is produced by rat Sertoli cells in vitro and can act as an autocrine regulator of Sertoli cell function [PDF]

, 1993
Regulation of androgen receptor (AR) mRNA expression was studied in Sertoli cells and peritubular myoid cells isolated from immature rat testis, and in the lymph node carcinoma cell line derived from a human prostate (LNCaP ...

Follicle Stimulating Hormone in Cattle Breeding: Fundamentals, Innovations, and Scope

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
FSH is crucial in cattle reproduction, with exogenous administration enhancing breeding and embryo production. Recombinant FSH offers advantages over pituitary‐extracted variants, including fewer injections, reduced stress, and safer production. These innovations improve breeding efficiency, optimize reproductive outcomes, and contribute to sustainable

The systemic activin response to pancreatic cancer: implications for effective cancer cachexia therapy

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2019
Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a particularly lethal malignancy partly due to frequent, severe cachexia. Serum activin correlates with cachexia and mortality, while exogenous activin causes cachexia in mice.

Effects of Renal and Hepatic Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Zilurgisertib

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Small‐molecule activin receptor‐like kinase‐2 inhibitor zilurgisertib (INCB000928) is under investigation in a pivotal trial for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), an ultrarare genetic condition. This analysis assessed effects of renal and hepatic impairment on zilurgisertib pharmacokinetics.

Localization of Activin and Activin Receptors in Rat Spinal Motoneurons

Journal of Biomedical Science, 1996
The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether rat spinal motoneurons (a) produce activin protein and (b) transcribe mRNAs coding for the betaA-subunit of activin and activin receptors II and IIB. The production of activin was determined by immunocytochemistry.
