Transgenic models to study gonadotropin function: the role of follicle-stimulating hormone in gonadal growth and tumorigenesis.

Transgenic models to study gonadotropin function: the role of follicle-stimulating hormone in gonadal growth and tumorigenesis. Mol Endocrinol. 1999 Jun;13(6):851-65 Authors: Kumar TR, Palapattu G, Wang P, Woodruff TK, Boime I, Byrne MC, Matzuk MM The role of FSH in gonadal tumorigenesis and, in particular, in human ovarian cancer has been debated. It is also unclear what role…

Cancer. 1999 Jan 15;85(2):465-71 Authors: Frias AE, Li H, Keeney GL, Podratz KC, Woodruff TK BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of preoperative serum inhibin and activin levels in postmenopausal women…

Identification of naturally occurring follistatin complexes in human biological fluids.

Identification of naturally occurring follistatin complexes in human biological fluids. Biol Reprod. 1999 Jan;60(1):8-13 Authors: Wang EY, Draper LB, Lee E, Polak A, Sluss P, Weiss J, Woodruff TK Follistatin (FS) binds activin and inhibin proteins. Many organs are sensitive to activin and inhibin; thus the formation of FS-activin/inhibin complexes is important to our understanding of ligand activity.…
