FSH LH : FSH ratio
Patient A was a 30-year-old white woman with a longstanding history of primary amenorrhea and infertility. By age 18 the patient had neither menstruated nor demonstrated evidence of normal breast development. At that time she was given oral contraceptives for four cycles and responded with normal vaginal bleeding. Laboratory evaluation at age 18 demonstrated a serum FSH (follicle-stimulating ho...
متن کاملAnalysis of serum FSH bioactivity in a patient with an FSH-secreting pituitary microadenoma and multicystic ovaries: A case report.
FSH-secreting pituitary adenoma (FSHoma) is often associated with increased levels of serum FSH and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The OHSS has historically been attributed to elevated FSH production by the FSHoma; however, some FSHoma patients with OHSS have normal serum FSH levels. OHSS may result not from increased FSH levels, but also from increased bioactivity of the FSH derived...
متن کاملCharacterization of FSH signalling networks in bovine cumulus cells: a perspective on oocyte competence acquisition.
Understanding the mechanisms regulating oocyte developmental competence is essential to enhance the clinical efficiency of assisted reproduction. FSH orchestrates the acquisition of oocyte competence, both in vivo and in vitro. Multiple pathways are implicated in FSH signalling; however, their precise coordination remains unresolved. A robust system to investigate FSH signalling is oocyte in vi...
متن کاملProduction of Biological Active Single Chain Bovine LH and FSH
Luteinizing hormone as other glycoprotein hormones is characterized by a heterodimeric structure composed a common α-subunit noncovalently linked to a specific β-subunit. The correct conformation of the heterodimer is important for efficient secretion, hormonal-specific post-translational modifications, receptor binding and signal transduction. To determine whether αand βsubunits can be synthes...
متن کاملIncreased Level of Fsh
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in the organism together with LH is responsible for follicular growth and maturation of eggs. If the ovaries are not working, FSH levels rise. The most common reason for high serum FSH concentration is in a female who is undergoing or has recently undergone menopause. High levels of follicle-stimulating hormone indicate that the normal restricting feedback fro...
