Detection of epitopes on follicle-stimulating hormone and FSH-antiserum-induced suppression of bioactivity of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone

Can fasting in the holy month of Ramadan affect on the levels of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prolactin?

Adherence to the recommendations and obligations of Islam is of great importance in achieving a desirable lifestyle. Fasting in the holy month of Ramadan is one of the main principles of Islam, in which Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, oral medications, and smoking from Fajr (pre-dawn) to Maghrib (sunset). Islamic rules dictate that fasting is unacceptable if it causes harm to the health ...

Protective effect of vitamin D on Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), testosterone hormones and testicular tissue changes induced by methotrexate in adult male rats

Background and Aims: Vitamin D has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effect of vitamin D on Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), testosterone hormones and testicular tissue changes induced by methotrexate in adult male rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 30 adult male Wistar rats wei...

The Correlations of Anti-Mullerian Hormone, Follicle-Stimulating Hormone and Antral Follicle Count in Different Age Groups of Infertile Women

Dissociation of human follicle-stimulating hormone. Comparison with luteinizing hormone.

Rat testis tissue receptor assays were utilized to study the kinetics of dissociation of human follicle-stimulating hormone (hFSH) and luteinizing hormone (hLH) under varying conditions of urea concentration and pH. In these competitive protein binding assays, 125I-hFSH and 125I-hLH were the radioligands and hormone dissociation was followed by a decrease in the ability of the dissociating horm...

Interaction of estradiol and luteinizing hormone releasing hormone on follicle stimulating hormone release in cattle.

To study the mechanism by which estradiol induces a preovulatory surge of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), we concluded experiments designed to determine: (1) the time course of change in luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH)-induced FSH release after estradiol in vivo, and (2) whether LHRH is required to trigger the FSH surge. Steers were given 1 microgram LHRH at 20-min intervals fo...
