Extragonadal LH/hCG action-Not yet time to rewrite textbooks [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

RSPO2 Coordinates with GDF9:BMP15 Heterodimers to Promote Granulosa Cell and Oocyte Development in Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
RSPO2 and GDF9:BMP15 heterodimers—core components of oocyte‐secreted factors (OSFs)—coordinate to shape the molecular architecture of preantral granulosa cells via gene‐specific synergistic and antagonistic regulation, mediated through CTNNB1–SMAD2 signaling crosstalk.

Up-To-Date Review About Minipuberty and Overview on Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis Activation in Fetal and Neonatal Life

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Minipuberty consists of activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis during the neonatal period, resulting in high gonadotropin and sex steroid levels, and occurs mainly in the first 3–6 months of life in both sexes. The rise in the levels

Bidirectional Interaction Between the Brain and Bone in Traumatic Brain Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts the blood–brain barrier and activates neuroimmune responses, causing metabolic disturbances and long‐term bone mass loss. Concurrent fractures accelerate healing and enhance osteogenesis but disrupt regulatory mechanisms, leading to altered bone dynamics and exacerbating neuroinflammation, complicating recovery ...

Efficient Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer by Overcoming Both Pre‐ and Post‐Implantation Epigenetic Barriers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mammalian cloning via SCNT is limited by several epigenetic barriers. Kdm4d/Kdm5b overexpression plus TSA treatment overcomes epigenetic barriers during pre‐implantation development, while tetraploid complementation replaces defective extraembryonic lineages to bypass H3K27me3 imprinting loss to overcome epigenetic barriers in post‐implantation ...

Update on male reproductive endocrinology. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Practitioners of male reproductive and sexual medicine must have an intimate understanding of the physiology of male reproductive endocrinology, as such a knowledge is the cornerstone on which hormonal treatments are based.

Substance P regulates puberty onset and fertility in the female mouse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Puberty is a tightly regulated process that leads to reproductive capacity. Kiss1 neurons are crucial in this process by stimulating GnRH, yet how Kiss1 neurons are regulated remains unknown. Substance P (SP), an important neuropeptide in pain perception,

The Critical Role of Enhanced OXPHOS and Mitochondrial Hyperpolarization in Simulated Microgravity‐Induced Oocyte Maturation Arrest

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Simulated microgravity induces distinct mitochondrial hyperactivation patterns‐elevated OXPHOS and MMP‐which accelerate meiosis without SAC failure but delays MTOC coalescence, leading to spindle defects and meiotic arrest. Prolonging M‐phase restores MTOC assembly and oocyte maturation.

Characterization of ovarian culture in vitro and sex steroids in vivo by recombinant eel gonadotropin treatments in the eel Anguilla japonica

open access: yesFisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2022
In the present study, we investigated the effects of recombinant eel gonadotropins (rec-GTHs) on maturation induction in immature ovarian culture in vitro and sex steroid hormones in vivo in

Immunoreactive human chorionic gonadotropin and its free ß-subunit in serum and ascites of patients with malignant tumors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a clinically relevant marker of trophoblastic and nontrophoblastic malignancies. In the present studies, in addition to determining serum hCG, we investigated the presence and properties of hCG immunoreactivity in ...
