Example sentences for: fsh
How can you use “fsh” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) regulates spermatogenesis through the somatic Sertoli cells of the testis [ 1 ] . Sertoli cells act as "nursing" cells and supplies germ cells with energy and controls the biochemical environment in which they develop [ 2 ] . Among the FSH-regulated functions are increased glucose uptake and oxidation.
Oocytes were transferred into tubes containing Hepes-buffered TCM-199 (Gibco BRL, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 0.57 mM cysteine, 10 ng/ml epidermal growth factor (Sigma), 100 IU/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 0.25 ng/ml amphotericin, 0.01 IU/ml porcine FSH (Sioux Biochemicals, Sioux Center, IA), 0.01 IU/ml porcine LH (Sioux Biochemicals) and 0.1% (w:v) polyvinyl alcohol (maturation medium) [ 50], and shipped to the laboratory overnight (20-24 h) at 38.
Porcine FSH (2039 IU/mg) was obtained from the National Hormone and Pituitary Program (NHPP).
Finally, with regard to FSH action, FS has been shown to neutralize the bioactivity of the FSH inhibitor, BMP-15 [ 39 ] . It is possible, therefore, that the strong expression of FS by the DF may serve to modulate BMP-15 action such that sufficient FSH receptors are expressed in the GC to permit the development of a preovulatory follicle.
4-aminopyridine, at millimolar concentrations, completely inhibits K +currents conducted by heterologously expressed KCNA channels and native GC I Kur , but lacks significant effects on native GC I Ks [ 4 12 13 20 ] . Kusaka showed that antagonism of 4-AP sensitive slowly inactivating delayed rectifier K +currents suppressed both basal and luteinizing hormone (LH)-stimulated progesterone production [ 21 ] . In this report, we extend those findings by demonstrating 4-AP inhibition of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)-stimulated progesterone production, and by elucidating the underlying mechanisms.
