When it was initially discovered in 1923, inhibin was characterized as a hypophysiotropic
hormone that acts on pituitary cells to regulate pituitary hormone secretion. Ninety years …

The success of pregnancy is a result of countless ongoing interactions between the placenta
and the maternal immune and cardiovascular systems. Pre‐eclampsia is a serious …

Inhibin is an important glycoprotein that is involved in folliculogenesis. INHA, the gene
encoding the inhibin alpha subunit, was recently proposed as a candidate for premature …

This study investigated the association between differences in litter size in Boer does, with
genetic polymorphisms in the inhibin alpha gene. Our preliminary (n= 209) results found 12 …

Androgens promote anabolism in the musculoskeletal system while generally repressing
adiposity, leading to lean body composition. Circulating androgens decline with age …

In this study, we report the analysis of INHA and INHβA gene polymorphisms in 786 goats of
three breeds: **nong Saanen (SN), Guanzhong (GZ) and Boer (BG). We identified three new …

Timely regulated changes in oxygen partial pressure are important for placental formation.
Disturbances could be responsible for pregnancy‐related diseases like preeclampsia and …

Background Cis-acting transcriptional regulatory elements in mammalian genomes typically
contain specific combinations of binding sites for various transcription factors. Although …

Inhibin α (Inha) gene expression is regulated, in rat granulosa cells, via a cyclic 3′, 5′‐
adenosine monophosphate (AMP)‐response element (CRE) found in a region of the …

During the first trimester of pregnancy, placenta formation probably occurs in a low-oxygen
environment necessary to protect cytotrophoblasts from oxidative stress and to allow proper …
