Estrous behavior in dairy cows: identification of underlying mechanisms and gene functions [PDF]
, 2010 Selection in dairy cattle for a higher milk yield has coincided with declined fertility. One of the factors is reduced expression of estrous behavior. Changes in systems that regulate the estrous behavior could be manifested by altered gene expression ...

Activity of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase associated with progesterone production in bovine granulosa cells cultured under different concentrations of serum, insulin-like growth factor I, and gonadotropin [PDF]
, 2014 Three-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) is the enzyme responsible for progesterone production. This study aimed to determine whether 3β-HSD activity can be shown to reflect progesterone production by granulosa cells cultured under different serum

Regulation of reproduction via tight control of gonadotropin hormone levels. [PDF]
, 2018 Mammalian reproduction is controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. GnRH from the hypothalamus regulates synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins, LH and FSH, which then control steroidogenesis and gametogenesis. In females, serum LH and FSH

Evidence for Follicle-stimulating Hormone Receptor as a Functional Trimer
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014 Background: A carbohydrate of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) has been proposed to sterically block other FSH molecules from binding to the putative receptor (FSHR) trimer.

Naturally Occurring Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Glycosylation Variants
Journal of Glycomics & Lipidomics, 2014 Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a member of the glycoprotein hormone family, which is a subfamily of the cystine knot growth factor superfamily [1,2]. The glycoprotein hormones are composed of heterodimeric glycoprotein subunits, a common α-subunit,

PACAP induces FSHβ gene expression via EPAC. [PDF]
, 2019 Gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), are heterodimers of a common α subunit and unique β subunits. Regulation of their levels, primarily by GnRH, is critical for reproductive function.

Predictive factors for ovarian response in a corifollitropin alfa/GnRH antagonist protocol for controlled ovarian stimulation in IVF/ICSI cycles [PDF]
, 2015 Background This secondary analysis aimed to identify predictors of low (<6 oocytes retrieved) and high ovarian response (>18 oocytes retrieved) in IVF patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation with corifollitropin alfa in a gonadotropin-
