Can FSH influence longevity?

چکیده
It was recently reported that the extragonadal actions of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) include regulation of brown and white adipose tissue function and thermogenesis. Based on these findings and on our evidence for reduced FSH levels and enhanced thermogenesis in long-lived growth hormone (GH)-deficient mice and GH-resistant mice, we suggest that FSH may have a role in the control of aging and longevity. We speculate that alterations in FSH secretion may represent one of the mechanisms of trade-offs between reproduction and aging.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and oocyte-secreted factors influence granulosa cell differentiation and follicle development. Whereas FSH stimulates the expression of mural cell transcripts, oocyte-secreted factors regulate specific cumulus cell genes and suppress the appearance of mural cell transcripts. This study addresses the extent to which clinically relevant changes in FSH doses appl...

Although ovarian follicle growth is under the influence of many growth factors and hormones of which FSH remains one of the most prominent regulators. Therefore, factors affecting the sensitivity of ovarian follicles to FSH are also important for follicle growth. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has an inhibitory effect on follicle growth by d...

Background: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor plays an important role in FSH signaling during reproductive development. Any changes in FSHR gene is resulted in alteration of amino acid in protein chain, consequence to affect the binding affinity, intracellular signaling and expression levels of FSHR. FSHR polymorphisms can be involved in etiology of many reproductive disorders such as...
متن کاملDifferential FSH exposure in preantral follicle culture has marked effects on folliculogenesis and oocyte developmental competence.
BACKGROUND We investigated at what stage early cultured preantral mouse follicles become dependent on a minimal effective FSH dose (10 mIU/ml) and analysed the influence of implementing FSH at several time-points during in vitro culture. METHODS Two-layered mouse follicles were cultured for 12 days under seven different FSH exposure regimens and ovulated on day 13 by hCG/EGF. Ovulated cumulus...
