Luteinizing hormone receptor knockout mouse: What has it taught us?
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Luteinizing hormone (LH), along with its agonist choriongonadotropin (hCG) in humans, is the key hormone responsible for the tropic regulation of the gonadal function. LH and hCG act through their cognate receptor, the luteinizing hormone/choriongonadotropin receptor (LHCGR; more appropriately LHR in rodents lacking CG), located in the testis ...

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 ...

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background In infertile couples whose male partner has alterations in semen parameters frequently, a comprehensive andrological approach is lacking and approximately 30–50% are classified as idiopathic infertility. These couples are often directly addressed to assisted reproduction techniques (ARTs).

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013 Pituitary gonadotrophs are a small fraction of the anterior pituitary population, yet they synthesize gonadotropins: luteinizing (LH) and follicle stimulating (FSH), essential for gametogenesis and steroidogenesis.

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

The adenylate cyclase receptor complex and aqueous humor formation. [PDF]
, 1984 The secretory tissue of the eye, the ciliary processes, contains an enzyme receptor complex, composed of membrane proteins, the catalytic moiety of the enzyme adenylate cyclase, a guanyl nucleotide regulatory protein (or N protein), and other features ...

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Hypogonadism and infertility are two conditions that are heavily affected by overweight and obesity in the male patient. Glucagon‐like peptide 1 agonists (GLP‐1RAs) are a recently introduced class of antidiabetic drugs with powerful weight‐loss effect; this may induce an indirect positive effect on the testicular function ...
