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 …

Living organisms represent, in essence, dynamic interactions of high complexity between
membrane‐separated compartments that cannot exist on their own, but reach behaviour in …

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

Reproductive function in mammals is regulated by the pituitary gonadotropins luteinizing
hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). LH and FSH are secreted by the …

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 …

The precise regulation of the anterior pituitary is achieved by the cell-specific and combined
actions of central, peripheral and local factors. Activins, inhibins, and follistatins were first …

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 anterior pituitary gland has the ability to respond to complex signals derived from central
and peripheral systems. Perception of these signals and their integration are mediated by …

Activins, as members of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, control and orchestrate
many physiological processes and are vital for the development, growth and functional …

Simple Summary The reproduction of mammals is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-
gonadal axis. Follicle stimulating hormone, as one of the gonadotropins secreted by the …
