Gonadotropins in the Russian Sturgeon: Their Role in Steroid Secretion and the Effect of Hormonal Treatment on Their Secretion. [PDF]
, 2016 In the reproduction process of male and female fish, pituitary derived gonadotropins (GTHs) play a key role. To be able to specifically investigate certain functions of Luteinizing (LH) and Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in Russian sturgeon ...

Age Impacts Perineuronal Net Density in the Somatosensory Genital Cortex Independently of Gonadal Steroid Hormones [PDF]
, 2023 A hallmark of pubertal development is the rise in gonadal hormone secretions and the subsequent onset of sexual behavior. The size of the somatosensory genital cortex increases in response to both this rise in gonadal steroid hormones and sexual ...

Peripheral and central mechanisms involved in hormonal control of male and female reproduction [PDF]
, 2016 Reproduction involves the integration of hormonal signals acting across multiple systems togenerate a synchronized physiological output. A critical component of reproduction is the luteinizinghormone (LH) surge, which is mediated by estradiol (E2) and ...

Divergent Evolution of Progesterone and Mineralocorticoid Receptors in Terrestrial Vertebrates and Fish Influences Endocrine Disruption [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 There is much concern about disruption of endocrine physiology regulated by steroid hormones in humans, other terrestrial vertebrates and fish by industrial chemicals, such as bisphenol A, and pesticides, such as DDT. These endocrine-disrupting chemicals influence steroid-mediated physiology in humans and other vertebrates by competing with steroids ...

Extragonadal LH/hCG action-Not yet time to rewrite textbooks [PDF]
, 2007 Gonadotropins are indispensable in both sexes in the regulation of gonadal sex steroid production and gametogenesis. In addition to their well-established classical actions, numerous recent publications have indicated the presence and function of ...

Modeling of mouse experiments suggests that optimal anti-hormonal treatment for breast cancer is diet-dependent [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Estrogen receptor positive breast cancer is frequently treated with anti-hormonal treatment such as aromatase inhibitors (AI). Interestingly, a high body mass index has been shown to have a negative impact on AI efficacy, most likely due to disturbances in steroid metabolism and adipokine production.

Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor: Advances and remaining challenges [PDF]
In: Arun K. Shukla (ed.), dir., G Protein-Coupled Receptors:
Emerging Paradigms in Activation, Signaling and Regulation Part A (p. 1-58).
International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, 338 (1\`ere ed.). USA :
Elsevier. 171 p. (2018), 2018 Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced in the pituitary and is essential for reproduction. It specifically binds to a membrane receptor (FSHR) expressed in somatic cells of the gonads. The FSH/FSHR system presents many peculiarities compared to classical G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
