Gonadotrophins: The future

Transgenic animals and gonadotrophins.

A variety of transgenic animal models has been developed to elucidate in vivo the functions of gonadotrophin genes. Some of these have focused on regulatory aspects through expression of gonadotrophin subunit promoter-driven reporter genes. Others have been carried out by overexpression or targeted disruption of specific gonadotrophin subunit genes, or by eliminating pituitary gonadotroph cells...

Serum gonadotrophins in Down's syndrome.

Serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) in institutionalised male patients with Down's syndrome (DS) have been found to be significantly higher than in age matched controls from the same institution. This difference is found in patients both under and over 30 years of age with respect to FSH levels, but the increase in LH levels is confined to patients wi...

Circulating levels of gonadotrophins in immature mice treated neonatally with antisera to gonadotrophins.

Computer security in the future

Until recently, computer security was an obscure discipline that seemed to have little relevance to everyday life. With the rapid growth of the Internet, e-commerce, and the widespread use of computers, computer security touches almost all aspects of daily life and all parts of society. Even those who do not use computers have information about them stored on computers. This paper reviews some ...

Relationships of structure with function of the gonadotrophins.

The gonadotrophins are an interesting group of hormones in which to study relationships of structure with function. They are glycoproteins with carbohydrate components which confer important properties of biological activity and they consist of subunits which bear interesting relationships with one another. Furthermore, they are easier to study than some other hormones because of the specific b...
