Association of molecular variants of luteinizing hormone with male infertility
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the interstitial Leydig cells to produce testosterone, which is essential for spermatogenesis. Abnormalities in the function of LH may affect the process of spermatogenesis and thus result in infertility. The aim of this study was to determine the association of three known variants of LH (Gln54Arg [Trp8Arg; Ile15Thr] and Gly102Ser) with male infertility. A total of 145...
