Suppression of androgen production by D-tryptophan-6-luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone in man.
Four male transsexual subjects were given a superactive luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue, D-tryptophan-6-LHRH at daily doses of 100 micrograms for 3--6 mo. A decrease in beard growth, acne, and erectile potency was noted; the latter was documented objectively with the recordings of nocturnal penile tumescence episodes. Plasma testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels fell...
متن کاملProduction of leukotrienes in gonadotropin-releasing hormone-stimulated pituitary cells: potential role in luteinizing hormone release.
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulated the formation of two major metabolites of the 5-lipoxygenase pathway, leukotriene (LT) B4 and LTC4, as well as luteinizing hormone (LH) release in primary cultures of rat anterior pituitary cells. Several lines of evidence suggested the presence of a GnRH-dependent pituitary endocrine system in which LTs act as second messengers for LH release: (...
متن کاملEffect of lipoproteins and luteinizing hormone on progesterone production by large and small luteal cells throughout the porcine estrous cycle.
Large and small cells were isolated from porcine corpora lutea (CL) on d 10, 15 or 18 of the estrous cycle. They were incubated 13 to 16 h in cholesterol- and serum-free media and then supplied with 0, 10, 50 or 100 micrograms of either porcine low density lipoprotein (LDL) or porcine high density lipoprotein (HDL). Each dose was supplemented with 0, 10, 50 or 100 ng of porcine LH. Media proges...
متن کاملLuteinizing hormone-induced Akt phosphorylation and androgen production are modulated by MAP Kinase in bovine theca cells
BACKGROUND Theca cells play an important role in controlling ovarian steroidogenesis by providing aromatizable androgens for granulosa cell estrogen biosynthesis. Although it is well established that the steroidogenic activity of theca cells is mainly regulated by LH, the intracellular signal transduction mechanisms that regulate thecal proliferation and/or steroidogenesis remain obscure. In th...
متن کاملIsolation of the luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing hormone from porcine hypothalami.
A new procedure is described for the isolation on a preparative scale of a hypothalamic decapeptide which stimulates the release of both luteiaizing hormone (LH) and folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary. The isolation was achieved mainly by countercurrent distribution. The yield from 240,000 porcine hypothalami was 11.4 mg. Thin layer chromatography and electrophoresis showed th...
