Regulation of gonadotropin gene expression by Mullerian inhibiting substance.
In addition to its role in causing Müllerian duct regression, Müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS) is implicated in the regulation of steroidogenesis, breast and prostate growth, and ovarian follicle recruitment, all of which are processes controlled or influenced by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Whereas the direct effect of MIS on gonadal, prostate, and breast cells is under investi...
متن کاملEstrogen causes dynamic alterations in endothelial estrogen receptor expression.
Estrogen receptor (ER)alpha mediates many of the effects of estrogen on the vascular endothelium. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether estrogen modifies endothelial ERalpha expression. In experiments in cultured ovine endothelial cells, physiological concentrations of 17beta-estradiol (E2, 10(-10) to 10(-8) mol/L) caused an increase in ERalpha protein abundance that was evi...
متن کاملThe nuclear receptor SF-1 mediates sexually dimorphic expression of Mullerian Inhibiting Substance, in vivo.
Mullerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) functions to promote regression of the Mullerian duct during male development. Maintaining the sexually dimorphic pattern of MIS expression is essential for proper mammalian reproductive tract development. Here, we show that the intricate spatial and temporal pattern of MIS expression is directed by a remarkably small proximal promoter of only 180 base pairs...
متن کاملprediction of assisted reproductive technique outcome in elevated early follicular phase follicle stimulating hormone with mullerian inhibiting substance level
background: detection of best predictor of ovarian reserve in patients with temporarily or consistently elevated early follicular phase serum levels of fsh is one of the most important goals in assisted reproductive technique (art). objective: to evaluate whether high level of anti-mullerian hormone level is related to success of art in patients with temporarily or consistently elevated early f...
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...
