, 2005 A great deal of new information has arisen in the recent years concerning inhibin physiology and clinical relevance in reproductive medicine. It is now recognized that the two inhibin isoforms, named inhibin A and inhibin B, are produced by the gonads in

Changes in inhibins and activin secretion in healthy and pathological pregnancies
, 2001 Inhibin-related proteins are involved in the control of the feto-maternal communication required to maintain pregnancy. Human placenta, decidua, and fetal membranes are the major sites of production and secretion of activin A, inhibin A and inhibin B ...

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2012 Introduction Premature ovarian failure is defined as the cessation of ovarian activity before the age of 40 years. It is biochemically characterized by low levels of gonadal hormones (estrogens and inhibins) and high levels of gonadotropins (luteinizing ...

Poultry Science, 1993 The role of the gonadal hormone inhibin has not been extensively examined in the hen. A bovine radioimmunoassay kit has been used to assess plasma levels of immunoreactive inhibin throughout the ovulatory cycle, in response to follicle removal, and after stimulation of follicle growth.

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The Klinefelter syndrome is a common genetic cause of male infertility, and testicular sperm extraction (TESE) enables sperm retrieval in a subset of affected patients. However, predicting TESE success remains challenging due to the heterogeneous clinical and endocrinological presentation of the Klinefelter syndrome.

Localization of inhibins and activins in normal endocrine cells and endocrine tumors of the gut and pancreas: an immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization study [PDF]
, 2004 Activins and inhibins, which belong to the TGF beta family, are composed of different combinations of alpha-, betaA-, and betaB-subunits, resulting in inhibin A (alphabetaA), inhibin B (alphabetaB), activin A (betaAbetaA), activin B (betaBbetaB), and ...

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Metabolic health plays a critical role in maintaining male fertility and may influence offspring health. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate metabolic indicators into the clinical assessment of male fertility. However, the relationships between different metabolic abnormalities and semen quality remain incompletely understood.

Inhibins and activins: Their roles in the adrenal gland and the development of adrenocortical tumors
, 2012 The adrenal gland is composed of two separate endocrine tissues that control a multitude of bodily functions in their adaptation to external and internal stressors through hormone secretion. The functions of the adrenal gland are regulated by circulating,
