Follicle-Stimulating Hormone and Luteinizing Hormone Mediate the Androgenic Pathway in Leydig Cells of an Evolutionary Advanced Teleost1
31 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
The endocrine pathways controlling vertebrate spermatogenesis are well established in mammals where the pituitary gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) exclusively activate the FSH receptor (FSHR) in Sertoli cells and the LH/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) in Leydig cells, respectively. In some teleosts, however, it has been shown that Lh can cross-activate the Fshra...
