Nuclear receptors including estrogen receptors (ERs) and progesterone receptors (PRs) are activated by their ligands as well as by signaling pathways in response to peptide hormones and growth factors. In gonadotrophs, gonadotropin releasing hormones (GnRHs) act via the GnRH receptor (GnRHR). Both …

Abstract
Nuclear receptors including estrogen receptors (ERs) and progesterone receptors (PRs) are activated by their ligands as well as by signaling pathways in response to peptide hormones and growth factors. In gonadotrophs, gonadotropin releasing hormones (GnRHs) act via the GnRH receptor (GnRHR). Both GnRH-I and GnRH-II activate an estrogen response element (ERE)-driven luciferase reporter gene in LβT2 mouse pituitary cells, and GnRH-I is more potent in this regard.

Abstract
In order to characterize and compare the pattern of inhibin production in the follicular phase between patients of the clomiphene citrate/human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) and Buserelin/hMG protocols in in-vitro fertilization, serum inhibin levels from 20 patients in each protocol were measured. The patients were matched for age and had tubal diseases only. It was hypothesized that the serum inhibin levels would be different in these two groups due to possible local actions of clomiphene citrate and Buserelin (a GnRH agonist) on the ovary.

Abstract
This thesis work is focused on studies of sperm antigen: its purification and antifertility effect, its "internal image" by use of anti-idiotypic antibodies, and its capacity to induce antibodies of IgA class. Mouse sperm acrosomal antigens that react with a monoclonal antibody generated against mouse spermatozoa, MS 207, were purified by immunoaffinity chromatography from soluble fraction of mouse testis homogenates.

Abstract
A sperm specific and species conserved monoclonal antibody (HS-63) was shown to inhibit in vitro fertilization of mouse oocytes and human sperm penetration to zona-free hamster ova. The sperm antigen (SA-63) which reacts with HS-63 was found to be localized on the sperm acrosome. Following sperm capacitation, this antigen becomes exposed and is shed after the acrosome reaction. SA-63 may be involved in the sperm acrosome reaction during the initial fertilization process.

Abstract
It is well established that LH action is mediated primarily by adenylate cyclase/cAMP. Conversely, the role of inositol phosphate/calcium in LH signalling has only recently been investigated. We examined the effects of gonadotrophins on intracellular calcium mobilisation in HEK293 cells transiently transfected with human wild type or chimeric gonadotrophs receptors (n=3400). Intracellular free calcium concentration was measured using fura-2 microspectrofluorimetric techniques. Human LH (2-4 μg/ml) arid CG (10 IU/ml) consistently evoked oscillatory calcium signals in HEK293 cells transfected with hLHr, whereas hFSH (2-4 μg/ml) failed to elicit any calcium responses.
