Development of Selective LH Receptor Agonists by Heterodimerization with a FSH Receptor Antagonist [PDF]
ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2010 The structural resemblance of the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) impedes selective agonistic targeting of one of those by low molecular weight (LMW) ligands. In the present study, we describe a series of dimeric ligands consisting of a LMW agonist with dual activity on the FSHR and the LHR linked to ...

Thyroxine-binding globulin: investigation of microheterogeneity [PDF]
, 1981 Preparations of T4-binding globulin (TBG) from human serum was performed using only two affinity chromatography steps. Purity of the protein was demonstrated by a single band in overloaded disc and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, equimolar ...

The Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Receptor in Testis: Interaction with FSH, Mechanism of Signal Transduction, and Properties of the Purified Receptor1 [PDF]
Biology of Reproduction, 1989 The follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor purified from calf bovine testis membranes appears to be an oligomeric glycoprotein, consisting of 4 disulfide-linked monomers of molecular weight about 60,000 each. Polyclonal antibodies to the hormone binding sites of the receptor have been developed.

Leptin receptor in the chicken ovary: potential involvement in ovarian dysfunction of ad libitum-fed broiler breeder hens [PDF]
, 2004 In hens, the ovarian follicles committed to ovulation are arranged in an ordered follicular hierarchy. In standard broiler breeders hens genetically selected for high growth rate the reproductive function is clearly dysfunctional.

Perturbations in Lineage Specification of Granulosa and Theca Cells May Alter Corpus Luteum Formation and Function [PDF]
, 2019 Anovulation is a major cause of infertility, and it is the major leading reproductive disorder in mammalian females. Without ovulation, an oocyte is not released from the ovarian follicle to be fertilized and a corpus luteum is not formed.

Effect of androgen treatment during foetal and/or neonatal life on ovarian function in prepubertal and adult rats [PDF]
, 2012 We investigated the effects of different windows of testosterone propionate (TP) treatment during foetal and neonatal life in female rats to determine whether and when excess androgen exposure would cause disruption of adult reproductive function ...

Responsiveness of bovine cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COC) to porcine and recombinant human FSH, and the effect of COC quality on gonadotropin receptor and Cx43 marker gene mRNAs during maturation in vitro [PDF]
, 2003 Substantially less development to the blastocyst stage occurs in vitro than in vivo and this may be due to deficiencies in oocyte competence. Although a large proportion of bovine oocytes undergo spontaneous nuclear maturation, less is known about ...

Immunohistochemical localization and quantitative assessment of GnRH-, FSH-, and LH-receptor mRNA Expression in canine skin: a powerful tool to study the pathogenesis of side effects after spaying [PDF]
, 2018 It has been proposed that gonadotropins and/or gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) could be involved in the pathophysiology of the side effects after spaying in bitches, such as urinary incontinence and an increased production of a woolly undercoat. In
