The precise orchestration of hormonal regulation at all levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-
gonadal axis is essential for normal reproductive function and fertility. The pulsatile secretion …

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays fundamental roles in male and female fertility. FSH
is a heterodimeric glycoprotein expressed by gonadotrophs in the anterior pituitary. The …

The pituitary gland is a central endocrine organ regulating basic physiological functions,
including growth, the stress response, reproduction, metabolic homeostasis, and lactation …

Mammalian reproductive cycles are controlled by an intricate interplay between the
hypothalamus, pituitary and gonads. Central to the function of this axis is the ability of the …

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the first key hormone of reproduction. GnRH
analogs are extensively used in in vitro fertilization, and treatment of sex hormone …

The pituitary gonadotropin hormones, FSH and LH, are essential for fertility. Containing an
identical α-subunit (CGA), they are comprised of unique β-subunits, FSHβ and LHβ …

The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis (HPG) plays vital roles in reproduction and steroid
hormone production in both sexes. The focus of this review is upon gene structures, receptor …

The precise interplay of hormonal influences that governs gonadotropin hormone production
by the pituitary includes endocrine, paracrine and autocrine actions of hypothalamic …

The pituitary gonadotropin hormones, FSH and LH, are key regulators of reproductive
physiology. Though the two hormones are produced by the same cell type, often in response …

Inhibin, activin, and follistatin were first identified as gonadal hormones that could exert
selective effects on follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion without affecting luteinizing …
