Role of FSH in regulating granulosa cell division and follicular atresia in rats.

چکیده
The effects of PMSG on the mitotic activity of granulosa cells and atresia of large folicles in 24-day-old rats were examined. The results showed that the labelling index (1) decreased in atretic follicles parallel with a loss of FSH binding, and (2) increased in hypophysectomized rats treated with FSH. It is concluded that FSH stimulates granulosa cell divisions and that atresia may be caused by reduced binding of FSH to the granulosa cells.

Ovotoxic Effects of Galactose Involve Attenuation of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Bioactivity and Up-Regulation of Granulosa Cell p53 Expression
Clinical evidence suggests an association between galactosaemia and premature ovarian insufficiency (POI); however, the mechanism still remains unresolved. Experimental galactose toxicity in rats produces an array of ovarian dysfunction including ovarian development with deficient follicular reserve and follicular resistance to gonadotrophins that characterize the basic tenets of human POI. The...
متن کاملFSH protects mouse granulosa cells from oxidative damage by repressing mitophagy
Oxidative stress has been implicated in triggering granulosa cell (GC) death during follicular atresia. Recent studies suggested that follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) has a pivotal role in protecting GCs from oxidative injury, although the exact mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we report that FSH promotes GC survival by inhibiting oxidative stress-induced mitophagy. The loss of GC via...
متن کاملHistological observation of the development of follicles and follicular atresia in immature rat ovaries.
To clarify the development of follicular growth and atresia in the immature ovary, rats. ovaries and blood were removed at fixed points during the period from 0 to 35 days after birth (Day 0 to Day 35). The ovaries were immunohistochemically examined, and blood concentrations of serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen (E) were measured. We investigated how time-course changes in f...
متن کاملRegulation of cell death and cell survival gene expression during ovarian follicular development and atresia.
Mammalian ovarian follicular development and atresia is closely regulated by the cross talk of cell death and cell survival signals, which include endocrine hormones (gonadotropins) and intra-ovarian regulators (gonadal steroids, cytokines and growth factors). The fate of the follicle is dependent on a delicate balance in the expression and actions of factors promoting follicular cell prolifera...
متن کاملنقش ارتباطات بین سلولی در القای گیرنده LH در موش رات
The cyclical changes in the gonadotropins stimulate ovarian follicular development either to the ovulatory stage or to undergo atresia. One such intrafollicular factor may be inter-cellular communication via gap junctions. We have examined the effects of two agents (retinoids and alkanols), known to disrupt or uncouple gap junction, on FSH-stimulated LH receptor induction and progestrone synthe...
