11beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (11beta-HSDs) interconvert active corticosterone
and inert 11-dehydrocorticosterone. In tissue homogenates, 11beta-HSD type 1 (11beta …

The objectives of this study were to develop a serum-free bovine granulosa cell culture
system in which FSH-responsive estradiol production could be induced and maintained, and …

Increasing evidence points at an important function of low concentrations of estradiol (E2) in
prepubertal boys and girls. E2 serum levels in prepubertal children are, however, often …

Animal studies and human intervention trials have demonstrated the cancer
chemopreventive properties of plant phytoestrogens, and phytoestrogen supplements are …

The objective of this study was to investigate the possible effect of recombinant bovine
somatotropin (BST) on ovarian folliculogenesis and ovulation rate. Twelve Hereford× …

Knockout studies in mice have suggested that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) modulates
primordial follicle recruitment and the response of growing follicles to FSH. Little is known of …

IGFs regulate gonadotrophin-stimulated proliferation and differentiation of granulosa and

Pheromonal signals from the dominant female marmoset monkey were implicated in
maintaining the suppression of LH secretion and ovulation in socially subordinate females …

Feeding a diet supplemented with maize oil was found to elevate plasma oestradiol
concentration in laying hens. 2. In a larger‐scale experiment, isoenergetic and …

Australian cashmere goat bucks exhibit marked seasonal changes in gonadotrophin
