[Level of immunoreactive follicle-stimulating hormone in the pituitary and blood of human fetuses]. 1978

L V Kuznetsova, and Iu B Skebel'skaia

The FSH content in the hypophysis and blood serum was determined by means of radioimmunology in 367 human foetuses at the age of 8 to 34 weeks. The immunoreactive FSH was detected in the hypophysis on the 9th week of embryogenesis. The ability of the hypophysis to release FSH in the blood was demonstrated for the female foetuses at the age of 14 to 34 weeks (with the maximum during the 17--18th week) and for the male foetuses at the age of 19 to 31 weeks. Sexual differences in the FSH content were shown in the hypophysis from the 14th till the 34th and in the blood serum from the 14th till the 26th week of development.

D010903 Pituitary Gland, Anterior The anterior glandular lobe of the pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis. It secretes the ADENOHYPOPHYSEAL HORMONES that regulate vital functions such as GROWTH; METABOLISM; and REPRODUCTION.

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.

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D012737 Sex Factors Maleness or femaleness as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from SEX CHARACTERISTICS, anatomical or physiological manifestations of sex, and from SEX DISTRIBUTION, the number of males and females in given circumstances.
