Decreased inhibin gene expression in preovulatory follicles requires primary gonadotropin surges
Endocrinology. 1989 May;124(5):2193-9
Authors: Woodruff TK, D'Agostino J, Schwartz NB, Mayo KE
Abstract:
We have examined the role of the primary gonadotropin surges in regulating inhibin alpha- and beta A-subunit mRNA levels in rat ovarian follicles. Inhibin subunit mRNA levels decline dramatically on the evening of proestrus in follicles…
Unilateral ovariectomy increases inhibin messenger ribonucleic acid levels in newly recruited follicles
Endocrinology. 1989 Jan;124(1):310-7
Authors: D'Agostino J, Woodruff TK, Mayo KE, Schwartz NB
Abstract:
We have used the unilaterally ovariectomized (ULO) rat as an experimental model to assess transient relationships between follicular recruitment and inhibin mRNA levels in the ovary. Animals were divided into three experimental groups (ULO, sham-operated,…
