What is the hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary that triggers ovulation and then promotes formation of the corpus luteum? Which hormone increases blood calcium levels? What hormone stimulates testosterone production in males? a) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) b) Luteinizing hormone (LH) c...
The results indicate that TNF- α stimulates granulosal-luteal cell growth and E 2 secretion in vitro, and thus TNF- α may promote cellular events associated with formation of the corpus luteum; i.e., granulosa-cell proliferation and steroidogenesis....
This study was undertaken to investigate how prostaglandin F(2α) (PGF(2α)) increases PGF(2α) synthesis and PTGS2 expression in the corpus luteum of pseudopregnant rats. We further investigated the molecular mechanism by which PGF(2α) stimulates PTGS2 expression. PGF(2α) (3 mg/kg) or...
Identify the hormone from the given action: Stimulates progesterone secretion, ovulation, and corpus luteum formation in females; promotes testosterone secretion and sperm release in males. 1. Regulates the exit of the partially digested food from the stomach 2. The ...
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) rapidly stimulates the formation of inositol phosphates and diacyglycerol in rat granulosa cells: further evidence for the involvement of Ca2+ and protein kinase C in the action of GnRH. GnRH provokes a phospholipid response in rat granulosa cells that has been...
Follicles contain follicular fluid and many types of cells that support oocyte growth and development until ovulation. The intricate network of communication between the oocyte, GCs, and TCs plays an important role in follicle formation and development. Furthermore, TCs, which synthesize androgens and...
