Is polycystic ovary syndrome a sexual conflict? A review [PDF]
, 2016 Several studies have attempted to explain the high overall prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome among women worldwide (about 4-10%) despite its link to subfertile phenotypes. For this reason, it is considered an evolutionary paradox.

Testotoxicosis: Report of Two Cases, One with a Novel Mutation in LHCGR Gene
Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology, 2015 Testotoxicosis is a rare disorder which presents as isosexual peripheral precocious puberty in males. Despite the pattern of autosomal dominant inheritance, sporadic cases also may occur. Due to activating mutation in luteinizing hormone (LH))/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) gene, early virilization and advancement in bone age are common with ...

Constitutively active transforming growth factor β receptor 1 in the mouse ovary promotes tumorigenesis [PDF]
, 2016 Despite the well-established tumor suppressive role of TGFβ proteins, depletion of key TGFβ signaling components in the mouse ovary does not induce a growth advantage.

The Role of the Brain in the Pathogenesis and Physiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). [PDF]
, 2019 Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive endocrine disorder, affecting at least 10% of women of reproductive age. PCOS is typically characterized by the presence of at least two of the three cardinal features of hyperandrogenemia (high ...

Hinge region mediates signal transmission of luteinizing hormone and chorionic gonadotropin receptor
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022 Luteinizing hormone-choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR), a class A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), plays a pivotal role in the maturation of reproductive organs and embryonic development.

Sp1 regulates steroidogenic genes and LHCGR expression in primary human luteinized granulosa cells [PDF]
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2019 Luteinizing hormone and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) bind to the luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin receptor (LHCGR). LHCGR is required to maintain corpus luteum function but the mechanisms involved in the regulation of LHCGR in human luteal cells remain incompletely understood.

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2012 Background Upon binding luteinizing hormone in the ovary, the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) is necessary for follicular maturation and ovulation, as well as luteal function.

Molecular determinants of a competent bovine corpus luteum: first vs final wave dominant follicles [PDF]
, 2016 Reproductive management in cattle requires the synchrony of follicle development and oestrus before insemination. However, ovulation of follicles that have not undergone normal physiological maturation can lead to suboptimal luteal function.

The utility of circulating LHCGR as a predictor of Down's syndrome in early pregnancy [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2014 Previous studies showed that soluble LHCGR/hCG-sLHCGR concentrations in serum or plasma combined with PAPP-A and free βhCG significantly increased the sensitivity of Down's syndrome screen at early pregnancy without altering the false positive rate. The goal of the present study was to further examine the role of sLHCGR forms as combinatorial markers ...
