Thyroid Hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Regulate Mullerian-Inhibiting Substance Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Expression in Cultured Neonatal Rat Sertoli Cells

Age-Specific Serum Anti-Mullerian Hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone Concentrations in Infertile Iranian Women

Background Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted by the granulosa cells of growing follicles during the primary to large antral follicle stages. Abnormal levels of AMH and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) may indicate a woman’s diminished ability or inability to conceive. Our aim is to investigate the changes in serum AMH and FSH concentrations at different age groups and its correlation w...

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

Sex steroid hormone regulation of follicle-stimulating hormone subunit messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels in the rat.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) beta, luteinizing hormone (LH) beta, and alpha subunit messenger RNA (mRNA) levels were examined in rats after castration and sex-steroid replacement. Subunit mRNAs were determined by blot hybridization using rat FSH beta genomic DNA, and alpha and LH beta complementary DNA (cDNA). Rat FSH beta mRNA is 1.7 kilobase in size. After ovariectomy, female FSH beta m...

Thyroid hormone effects on androgen receptor messenger RNA expression in rat Sertoli and peritubular cells.

Postnatal Sertoli cell maturation is characterized by a pronounced rise in androgen receptor (AR) expression, which increases several fold between birth and adulthood. Since both 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T3) and FSH regulate Sertoli cell proliferation and differentiation, we have determined the effects of T3 and FSH on AR mRNA expression in cultured Sertoli cells from 5-day-old rats. These cult...

Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Anti-Mullerian Hormone Among Fertile and Infertile Women in Ile-ife, Nigeria: is There a Difference?

Background Reduced ovarian reserve has been known to predict poor ovarian response and poor success rates in infertile women undergoing assisted reproductive technology. Ovarian reserve also decreases with age but the rate of decline defers from a woman to another. The aim of this study was to detect any difference in ovarian reserve as measured by basal serum FSH and AMH between matched cohort...
