Expression of luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotrophin (LH/HCG) receptor mRNA in the human ovary.
The gonadotrophins follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are key hormones in the regulation of ovarian function. In the present study, the expression of LH/human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) receptor mRNAs in the human ovary was examined. Northern blot analysis was used to measure relative amounts of LH/HCG receptor mRNA, and in-situ hybridization was used to localize...
متن کاملCompartmentalization of human chorionic gonadotrophin sensitivity and luteinizing hormone receptor mRNA in different subtypes of the human corpus luteum.
The relationship was investigated between different ultrasonographically defined subtypes of the human corpus luteum and progesterone production. Twenty-one women in the mid-luteal phase who underwent laparotomy for benign uterine conditions volunteered for this study. The corpus luteum was identified by preoperative ultrasound and classified into four types according to earlier established cri...
متن کاملLuteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotrophin receptor overexpressed in granulosa cells from polycystic ovary syndrome ovaries is functionally active.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is associated with anovulatory infertility. Luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotrophin receptor (LHCGR), which is critical for ovulation, has been suggested to be expressed prematurely in the ovarian follicles of women with PCOS. This study aimed to analyse the expression and activity of LHCGR in ovarian granulosa cells from PCOS patients and the involvement ...
متن کاملExpression of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Receptor Gene in the Ovary of a Prenatally-Androgenized Rat Model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Following Androgen Exposure in the Prenatal Period
Introduction: Based on available evidence, exposure of the female fetus to androgens during the prenatal period, by affecting the expression of some genes, can cause polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adulthood. On the other hand, changes in luteinizing hormone (LH) levels and its receptor are associated with the risk of reproductive disorders, including PCOS. The present study aimed to evalua...
متن کاملInduction of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in human ovary by human chorionic gonadotrophin.
The role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in human ovarian function remains obscure. The aim of this study was to investigate how MIF was related to ovulation by quantitative analysis of serum, follicular fluid and culture medium of granulosa cells obtained from in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer patients. Serum MIF concentrations in ovarian stimulation cycles for I...
