LH and chorionic gonadotropin (CG) are glycoproteins fundamental to sexual development
and reproduction. Because they act on the same receptor (LHCGR), the general consensus …

While common marmosets are increasingly used as alternative primate models in
biomedical research, their life history, specialized behavior and unique physiology are not …

Testicular maturation and sperm production throughout the life of the male form the basis of
male fertility. It is difficult to elucidate the intricate processes controlling testicular maturation …

Background Human luteinizing hormone (LH) and chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are
glycoprotein hormones regulating development and reproductive functions by acting on the …

Gonadotropins are glycoprotein sex hormones regulating development and reproduction
and bind to specific G protein–coupled receptors expressed in the gonads. Their effects on …

BACKGROUND In recent years it became evident that several types of the luteinizing
hormone/choriogonadotrophin receptor (LHCGR) exist. In addition to the classical receptor …

The second edition of this text provides a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the use of
nonhuman primates in biomedical research. The publication emphasizes the biology and …

Macaques provide excellent models for preclinical testing and safety assessment of female
reproductive toxicants. Currently, cynomolgus monkeys are the predominant species for …
