The lifespan of the female rodent is characterized by dynamic changes in the hormonal
regulation of the reproductive axis. From the time ovarian follicular growth is initiated in …

Introduction IN 1985 and 1986, inhibin and activin, respectively, were successfully isolated
from follicular fluid of the ovary (1, 2). Since then, our understanding of the important roles of …

Inhibin, a gonadal protein that preferentially suppresses the secretion of pituitary follicle-
stimulating hormone, has been isolated from porcine follicular fluid and characterized as a …

The recent purification, sequencing and molecular cloning of inhibin have led to its
redefinition incorporating reference to its structure in order to avoid confusion with other …

The concentration of immunoreactive inhibin in serum was measured in three pregnant
women with premature ovarian failure involved in a donor oocyte in‐vitro fertilization …

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) induces profuse lobular development in the mammary
gland of young virgin rats. To clarify whether the effect of hCG is locally mediated by inhibin …

Inhibin levels were measured by a double antibody heterologous radioimmunoassay in the
peripheral serum of 75 pregnant women throughout gestation and in serum from the …

In the present study, we investigated the roles of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP),
intracellular calcium, glucocorticoids, protein kinase-C and gonadotrophin-releasing …

Immunocytochemical localization studies revealed the presence of 10· 5 kDa inhibin in the
prostatic epithelial cells of the human, non-human primates (Macaca radiata, Presbytis …

Inhibin administered to adult male rats delayed the in-vivo pituitary responsiveness to
thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) as observed in terms of prolactin release in the …
