(Biochemistry) a steroid hormone, secreted mainly by the corpus luteum in the ovary, that prepares and maintains the uterus for pregnancy. Formula: C21H30O2. Also called:corpus luteum hormone [C20: from pro-1+ ge(station) + ster(ol) + -one] ...
What hormone is secreted by the corpus luteum that maintains the uterine lining? a. What is the organ of origin of the Thyroid-stimulating Hormone? b. What is the stimulus for the secretion of this hormone? c. What is its target tissue?
(Avvakumovet al., 2000). Crystal structures also identified thebinding sitefor Ca2+that maintains thequaternary structureof the SHBG homodimer and its steroid-binding properties (Grishkovskayaet al., 2000), both of which are adversely affected in frozen and thawed EDTA-plasma (Bocchinf...

Question: The hormone than prepares the ovary to release another ovum is a. luteinizing hormone. b. follicle-stimulating hormone. c. estrogen. d. testosterone. Ovulation: Ovulation is a hormonally-controlled event that involves the ru...
Progesterone and estrogen also appear to be important, along with PRL and several other hormones, in lobuloalveolar proliferation and growth of the mammary glands during the course of pregnancy (9). Finally, estrogen generates and maintains the receptors for progesterone in the uterus, as well as...
we can only speculate about the exact nature of the stimulus that prompts JH production. In mammals, including humans, it appears that it is the frequency of the suckling stimulus of the pups/babies that induces and maintains prolactin secretion43,44,45. In burying beetles, larvae show a spec...
AMH is recognized as a paracrine factor secreted from maturing follicles that maintainsprimordial folliclequiescence. Primordial follicles do not express AMH, and controversy exists whether they express receptors for AMH; however, follicular AMH levels that are produced bygranulosa cellsbegin to rise after...
Marmoset CG alpha has an extra four amino acids compared to hCG alpha, whereas the mCG beta sequence has a 3-bp deletion that maintains the reading frame and C-terminal amino acid sequence. Most of the differences between hCG beta and mCG beta peptides occur in the C-terminal region, ...
These changes in lipoprotein metabolism may be caused by increasing estrogen concentrations during the late stage of pregnancy.The results indicate that HDL protein and esterified Cholesterol turnover are increased in late pregnancy despite the absence of an increase in HDL cholesterol concentration per ...
