Follicle-stimulating hormone actions

Chorionic gonadotropin (CG) is produced in the placenta. Together- with the pituitary hormones, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), it constitutes the glycoprotein family of gonadotropins. The actions of CG are mediated by the LH receptor, both belonging to the superfamily of G-protein Coupled Receptors. [Pg.361]

FIGURE 8.4 The Bronson model of priming pheromone actions in rodents. Chemical signaling between males and females constitutes a feedback mechanism that results in accelerated maturation and reproduction. This, in turn, permits the mice to adjust their reproduction and population size quickly to respond to environmental conditions such as sudden food abundance at harvest time. FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone LH, luteinizing hormone PRL, prolactin. Stimulation and inhibition are marked by - - and —, respectively. (From Bronson and Coquelin, 1980.)... [Pg.221]

Mechanism of Action A testosterone derivative that suppresses the pituitary-ovarian axis by inhibiting the output of pituitary gonadotropins. Causes atrophy of both normal and ectopic endometrial tissue in endometriosis. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are depressed in fibrocystic breast disease. Inhibits steroid synthesis and binding of steroids to their receptors in breast tissues. Increases serum levels of esterase inhibitor. Therapeutic Effect Produces anovulation and amenorrhea, reduces the production of est rogen, corrects biochemical deficiency as seen in hereditary angioedema. [Pg.322]

Thalidomide may destroy follicular cells by an action at follicle stimulating hormone receptors, either by directly inhibiting the binding of follicle stimulating hormone or by a post-receptor mechanism (87). [Pg.3349]
