Follicle-stimulating hormone orchestrates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion of pancreatic islets
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is involved in mammalian reproduction via binding to FSH receptor (FSHR). However, several studies have found that FSH and FSHR play important roles in extragonadal tissue.

Association between cumulus cells—mRNA levels of AMHR2 and FSHR with oocyte maturity
Background The gene expression of anti-Mullerian hormone receptor type 2 (AMHR2) and follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) in cumulus cells (CCs) isolated from mature and immature oocytes was studied as a possible non-invasive approach for ...

A simplified design approach to prevent shrinkage cracking in patch repairs [PDF]
This paper outlines two procedures for determining the interfacial shrinkage stresses in a repair patch. The first is an analytical approach based on the analogy of a bimetallic strip undergoing contraction (shrinkage).

Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor expression in advanced atherosclerotic plaques
Experimental evidence indicates that follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), an essential hormone for reproduction, can act directly on endothelial cells inducing atherosclerosis activation and development.

Long-term Recovery from Acute Cold Shock in Caenorhabditis Elegans
Background Animals are exposed to a wide range of environmental stresses that can cause potentially fatal cellular damage. The ability to survive the period of stress as well as to repair any damage incurred is essential for fitness. Exposure to 2 °C for

The Common Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor (FSHR) Promoter Polymorphism FSHR −29G > A Affects Androgen Production in Normal Human Small Antral Follicles [PDF]
Follicle-stimulating hormone receptors (FSHRs) are almost exclusively expressed on granulosa cells, and FSH action is probably most clearly reflected in intrafollicular hormone milieu of antral follicles. Little is known about the possible effects of the common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) FSHR -29G > A (rs1394205) on hormonal conditions in ...
