Purified IgG from BALB/c mouse anti-C3H serum exerts positive inotropic and chronotropic effects in C3H mouse atria and induces testosterone synthesis in C3H mouse Leydig cells. The effect depends on IgG concentration and can be abolished by beta-adrenergic-receptor and luteinizing hormone-receptor antagonists. IgG interferes with the binding of dihydroalprenolol and luteinizing hormone. Monocl...

a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:897:"Human luteinizing hormone (hLH) belongs to glycoprotein hormones which is composed of two non-covalently linked subunit, α and β. The α-subunit is similar in all glycoprotein hormones, whereas the β-subunit is conferring the hormonal specificity. This hormone has important roles in the growth and maturity of sexual organs and secondary sexual characteristics and st...

Clauberg S. (Zentrbl. F. Gyn., 1933, No. 1, p. 47), based on the presence of luteinizing hormone in blood pregnant women anterior lobe pituitary gland, recommends cases uterine bleeding, depending persistence follicles ovary with insufficient development corpus luteum, pour over bleeding about 300-400 cc, sant.

BACKGROUND Hypogonadotropic hypogonadal women are characterized by ovarian functionality deficiency, caused by low concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). To recover reproduction functionality, recommended therapies for ovarian induction involve injections of FSH and LH medications. OBJECTIVE Since important differences exist between recombinant and ...

We compared five two-site immunometric assays (including three commercially available kits) for measuring lutropin (LH) in serum. Four of the assays involved monoclonal antibodies directed against the alpha-beta dimer, intact LH; these assays measured significantly lower concentrations of LH in 19 (out of 83) samples than did a commercial method not involving such antibodies. In five serum samp...

Discrepancies among three commercially available luteinising hormone (LH) radioimmunoassay RIA kits, all calibrated against the second-IRP-HMG (World Health Organisation International Laboratory for Biological Standards), were observed. Even though the Japan Radioisotope Association carries out external quality control in Japan every year, inaccuracies still exist. This problem also exists else...
