The maturation of ovarian granulosa cells is dependent upon the pituitary gonadotropin
FSH, the actions of which are mediated via specific plasma membrane receptors. To study …

Receptors for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are found only in the gonads and have
been localised to the Sertoli cells of the testis and the granulosa cells of the ovary. During …

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an important role in the regulation of oogenesis,
spermatogenesis and production of steroid hormones. Receptors to FSH, which are …

The effect of FSH on the induction of FSH receptors in granulosa cells is believed to be
mediated, at least in part, by the cAMP second messenger system. We examined the effect …

FSH is required to maintain FSH and LH/hCG receptors at elevated steady-state levels after
receptor induction. Although this function of FSH is mediated by cAMP, how cAMP level is …

Estrogen pretreatment of hypophysectomized immature rats stimulated granulosa cell
proliferation and enhanced FSH binding to the ovary in vivo. The present studies were …

The regulation by FSH (follitropin; follicle-stimulating hormone) of FSH receptor mRNA and
protein (FSH binding) was studied using cultured Sertoli cells isolated from 21-day-old rats …

The actions of gonadotropins on ovarian differentiation are associated with dynamic
changes in gonadotropin receptor content, presumably due to modulation of receptor gene …

The effects of estradiol, FSH and LH on ovarian follicular development and granulosa cell
differentiation were examined in the immature rat hypophysectomized on day 24 of age …

FSH mRNA is transcribed after the onset of high FSH secretion during proestrus and estrus.
Pituitary cell fractions separated by size and density were studied to determine if expression …
