Development and application of a bioassay for follicle-stimulating hormone : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physiology at Massey University [PDF]
, 2000 Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is involved in the regulation and maintenance of vital reproductive processes, such as gametogenesis, follicular development and ovulation.

Extragonadal FSH Receptor: Is It Real?1
Biology of Reproduction, 2014 Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a pituitary gonadotroph-derived heterodimeric glycoprotein that binds G protein-coupled FSH receptors (FSHRs) on ovarian granulosa cells [1–3]. This FSH/FSHR signaling pathway is essential for female fertility because null mice lacking either the FSH ligand [4] or FSHR [5, 6] are sterile as a result of preantral ...

Follicle stimulating hormone modulates ovarian stem cells through alternately spliced receptor variant FSH-R3 [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: We have earlier reported that follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) modulates ovarian stem cells which include pluripotent, very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) and their immediate descendants ‘progenitors’ termed ovarian germ stem cells

FSH-receptor isoforms and FSH-dependent gene transcription in human monocytes and osteoclasts [PDF]
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2010 Cells of the monocyte series respond to follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) by poorly characterized mechanisms. We studied FSH-receptors (FSH-R) and FSH response in nontransformed human monocytes and in osteoclasts differentiated from these cells.

RFRP3 influences basal lamina degradation, cellular death, and progesterone secretion in cultured preantral ovarian follicles from the domestic cat. [PDF]
, 2019 The hypothalamic neuropeptide RFRP3 can suppress hypothalamic GnRH neuron activation and inhibit gonadotropin release from the anterior pituitary. RFRP3 is also produced locally in the ovary and can inhibit steroidogenesis and follicle development in ...

Hormonal regulation of female reproduction [PDF]
, 2012 Reproduction is an event that requires the coordination of peripheral organs with the nervous system to ensure that the internal and external environments are optimal for successful procreation of the species.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1994 Using a cell line stably transfected with the rat follitropin (FSH) receptor cDNA we demonstrate that the FSH receptor becomes phosphorylated when cells are exposed to FSH. Since binding of FSH to its receptor results in an increase in cAMP and inositol phosphate accumulation, we examined the potential involvement of protein kinase A and C in mediating

FSH Receptor Signaling: Complexity of Interactions and Signal Diversity [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2018 FSH is synthesized in the pituitary by gonadotrope cells. By binding to and interacting with its cognate receptor [FSH receptor (FSHR)] in the gonads, this gonadotropin plays a key role in the control of gonadal function and reproduction. Upon activation, the FSHR undergoes conformational changes leading to transduction of intracellular signals ...

Vasotocin receptor expression in the brain and pituitary gland during the ovulatory cycle of the fowl [PDF]

Luteinizing hormone concentrations in healthy horses and horses with trigeminal-mediated headshaking over an 8-hour period. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundTrigeminal-mediated headshaking results from a low threshold for firing of the trigeminal nerve. A seasonal component has been implicated in onset of clinical signs, which occur during the spring and summer months.
