Müllerian Inhibiting Substance lowers testosterone in luteinizing hormone-stimulated rodents.
Müllerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) expression is inversely proportional to the serum concentration of testosterone in males after birth and in vitro studies have shown that MIS can lower testosterone production by Leydig cells. Also, mice overexpressing MIS exhibited Leydig cell hypoplasia and lower levels of serum testosterone, but it is not clear whether this is a result of MIS affecting th...
متن کاملMullerian inhibiting substance: a gonadal hormone with multiple functions.
Mullerian inhibiting substance (MIS) is the gonadal hormone that causes regression of the Mullerian ducts, the anlagen of the female internal reproductive structures, during male embryogenesis. MIS is a member of the large transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta) multigene family of glycoproteins that are involved in the regulation of growth and differentiation. The proteins in this gene fami...
متن کاملHuman ovarian cancer stem/progenitor cells are stimulated by doxorubicin but inhibited by Mullerian inhibiting substance.
Women with late-stage ovarian cancer usually develop chemotherapeutic-resistant recurrence. It has been theorized that a rare cancer stem cell, which is responsible for the growth and maintenance of the tumor, is also resistant to conventional chemotherapeutics. We have isolated from multiple ovarian cancer cell lines an ovarian cancer stem cell-enriched population marked by CD44, CD24, and Epc...
متن کاملRegulation 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 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...
