Glycopeptides (FSH, LH, TSH, prolactin) and glycoproteins in patients with genitourinary cancer. 1981

U Dunzendorfer, and W Schumann, and D Drahovsky, and G Ohlenschläger

The present investigation has analyzed 249 patients suffering from urogenital cancer in respect to aberrant concentration of prolactin, TSH, LH and FSH. A simultaneous pattern of acute phase reactants (alpha 1-glycoprotein, alpha 1-antitrypsin, beta 2-glycoprotein and haptoglobin) was related to the content of these hormones. Abnormal results of prolactin and TSH were present in 30% of all patients, whereas frequent aberrations of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and alpha 1-antitrypsin were detected in 60--80%. Acute phase reactants changed to more pathological values when correlated to elevated prolactin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.

D005260 Female Females
D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
