THE R\l=O^\LE OF FSH AND LH IN THE INITIATION OF OVULATION IN RATS AND HAMSTERS: A STUDY USING RABBIT ANTISERA TO OVINE FSH
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relative r\l=o^\lesof FSH and LH in ovulation induction in immature and adult cycling rats and hamsters have been evaluated. Both heterologous purified pituitary hormones and homologous crude pituitary extracts have been used as ovulatory stimuli in immature animals primed with PMSG. Well-characterized FSH and LH antisera have been used in the above model systems to achieve specific neutralization of FSH and LH. The present study revealed that LH is the physiological trigger needed for induction of ovulation in both rats and hamsters and FSH cannot, by itself, induce ovulation in the total absence of LH.

Inhibin is an important factor in the regulation of FSH secretion in the adult male hamster.
We investigated the importance of inhibin and testosterone in the regulation of gonadotropin secretion in adult male golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). After castration, plasma concentrations of inhibin and testosterone were reduced to undetectable, whereas plasma follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) were increased. After hemicastration, plasma FSH and LH increas...

The progesterone receptor (PR) is a hormone activated transcription factor essential for female reproductive function. PR also activates cell signaling pathways through its interaction with src kinase. In turn, the activities of PR and its coactivators are dependent on phosphorylation by a variety of kinases. Initial studies using the chicken PR (cPR) as a model resulted in the identification o...
متن کاملGains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach
By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...
