The intracellular pathways mediating GnRH regulation of gonadotropin subunit transcription remain to be fully characterized, and the present study examined whether calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (Ca/CAMK II) plays a role in the rat pituitary. Preliminary studies demonstrated that a single pulse of GnRH given to adult rats stimulated a transient 2.5-fold rise in Ca/CAMK II activity (as determined by an increase in Ca/CAMK II phosphorylation), with peak values at 5 min, returning to basal 45 min after the pulse. Further studies examined the alpha, LHbeta, and FSHbeta transcriptional responses to GnRH or Bay K 8644+KCl (BK+KCl) pulses in vitro in the absence or presence of the Ca/CAMK II-specific inhibitor, KN-93. Gonadotropin subunit transcription was assessed by measuring primary transcripts (PTs) by quantitative RT-PCR. In time-course studies, both GnRH and BK+KCl pulses given alone increased all three subunit PTs after 6 h (2- to 4-fold). PT responses to GnRH increased over time (3- to 8-fold over basal at 24 h), although BK+KCl was ineffective after 24 h. KN-93 reduced the LHbeta and FSHbeta transcriptional responses to GnRH by 50-60% and completely suppressed the alphaPT response. In contrast, KN-93 showed no inhibitory effects on basal transcriptional activity or LH or FSH secretion. In fact, KN-93 tended to increase basal alpha, LHbeta, and FSHbeta PT levels and enhance LH secretory responses to GnRH. These results reveal that Ca/CAMK II plays a central role in the transmission of pulsatile GnRH signals from the plasma membrane to the rat alpha, LHbeta, and FSHbeta subunit genes.

Neuropeptide W acts in brain to control prolactin, corticosterone, and growth hormone release.

The endogenous, peptide ligand for the orphan receptors GPR7 and GPR8 was identified to be neuropeptide W (NPW). Because these receptors are expressed in brain and in particular in hypothalamus, we hypothesized that NPW might interact with neuroendocrine systems that control hormone release from the anterior pituitary gland. No significant effects of NPW were observed on the in vitro releases of prolactin (PRL), ACTH, or GH when log molar concentrations ranging from 1 pM to 100 nM NPW were incubated with dispersed anterior pituitary cells. However, NPW, when injected into the lateral cerebroventricle of conscious, unrestrained male rats, in a dose-related fashion elevated PRL and corticosterone and lowered GH levels in circulation. The threshold dose for all three effects was 1.0 nmol. We conclude that endogenous NPW may play a regulatory role in the organization of neuroendocrine signals accessing the anterior pituitary gland but does not itself act as a true releasing or inhibiting factor in the gland. Central administration of NPW23 also stimulated water drinking and food intake. The ability of exogenous peptide to decrease GH but stimulate PRL secretion and activate the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis, together with the observed behavioral effects, suggests that endogenous NPW may play a role in the hypothalamic response to stress.

Reactive oxygen disrupts mitochondria in MA-10 tumor Leydig cells and inhibits steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein and steroidogenesis.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in a variety of pathophysiological conditions of the testis, and oxidative stress is known to inhibit ovarian and testicular steroidogenesis. The site of ROS-mediated inhibition of steroidogenesis in the corpus luteum and MA-10 tumor Leydig cells was shown to be the hormone-sensitive mitochondrial cholesterol transfer step. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of ROS on steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in MA-10 cells and determine the extent to which MA-10 cell mitochondria are sensitive to oxidative stress. cAMP-stimulated progesterone production was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner in MA-10 cells exposed to H(2)O(2). StAR protein, but not mRNA levels, was decreased in parallel to changes in progesterone production. Even at the highest concentrations of H(2)O(2) tested, there was no effect on P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme protein levels. Oxidative stress from exposure to exogenous xanthine oxidase and xanthine resulted in the inhibition of both progesterone production and StAR protein expression. The mature 30- and 32-kDa intramitochondrial forms of StAR were decreased relative to the 37-kDa extramitochondrial precursor form of StAR, indicating that the ROS-mediated inhibition of StAR protein was due, in part, to the inhibition of mitochondrial import and processing. Vital staining with the fluorescent dye tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester was used to visualize changes in the mitochondrial electrochemical gradient-dependent membrane potential (Deltapsim). ROS caused a significant dissipation of Deltapsi(m) and time-dependent loss of tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester fluorescence. The inhibitory effects of H(2)O(2) were transient. There was no evidence for ROS-induced cell death, and following H(2)O(2) removal in the presence of continuous treatment with 8-bromo-cAMP, StAR protein levels and progesterone production were restored. In addition, there was no loss of cell viability following treatment with H(2)O(2) or xanthine/xanthine oxidase as determined by trypan blue exclusion. H(2)O(2) did not cause a significant decrease in total cellular ATP levels. These data indicate that oxidative stress-mediated perturbation of the mitochondria and dissipation of Deltapsi(m) results in the inhibition of StAR protein expression and its import, processing, and cholesterol transfer activity. These findings confirm earlier studies demonstrating the requirement for maintenance of an intact Deltapsi(m) for StAR protein function in cholesterol transport. The significant reduction in the 32- to 30-kDa mature forms of StAR, cessation of cholesterol transport, and loss of Deltapsi(m) are consistent with mitochondrial perturbation because of oxidative stress. This mechanism likely contributes to a host of pathophysiological events evident in testicular disorders such as infection, reperfusion injury, aging, cryptorchidism, and varicocele.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether baseline serum FSH and/or E2 concentrations can predict the risk for fetal chromosomal abnormalities. DESIGN: Case control study. SETTING: Reproductive technology program at a university hospital. PATIENT(S): Patients who underwent dilation and curettage (D + C), and whose products of conception were karyotyped. INTERVENTION(S): Patients underwent natural conception or controlled ovarian hyperstimulation followed by intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, gamete intrafallopian transfer, or zygote intrafallopian transfer. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Baseline serum FSH and E2 concentrations and fetal karyotype. RESULT(S): Genetic evaluation of 78 D + C specimens revealed 34 normal and 44 abnormal fetal karyotypes. A significantly greater proportion of women with abnormal fetal karyotype had elevated baseline serum FSH (> or =15 mIU/mL [RIA] or 10 mIU/mL [Immulite]) and/or E2 > or = 50 pg/mL [Immulite]) compared with women of normal fetal karyotype. Among karyotypically abnormal abortuses, autosomal trisomy was the most common abnormality noted (79.5%), followed by mosaicism (6.8%), triploidy (6.8%), monosomy XO (4.5%), and balanced translocation (2.3%). CONCLUSION(S): Baseline serum FSH and/or E2 concentrations may be valuable as predictors of fetal aneuploidy.

Evidence that thyroid hormones act in the ventromedial preoptic area and the premammillary region of the brain to allow the termination of the breeding season in the ewe.

Thyroid hormones are permissive for various species to enter seasonal anestrus. In the ewe they act centrally to permit the onset of potent estradiol-negative feedback responsible for anestrus, but the specific sites of action are unknown. Therefore, we tested whether T(4) replacement via chronic microimplants in any of five brain areas could reverse the reproductive effects of thyroidectomy. Diffusion of (125)I-T(4) from the microimplant was largely (>98%) limited to a 1.2-mm radius. A marked decline in LH concentration in ovariectomized, estradiol-treated ewes was used as an index for anestrus. In experiment 1, all thyroidectomized (THX) ewes with microimplants in the medial preoptic area, A15 area, and medial basal hypothalamus failed to enter anestrus; instead, LH levels remained elevated, similar to those in untreated THX controls. In ventromedial preoptic area (vmPOA)-microimplanted ewes, only the two animals with the most caudal microimplants entered anestrus, as did thyroid-intact controls and THX ewes receiving icv or sc T(4) replacement. In experiment 2, all vmPOA-treated ewes with similar placements to those effective in experiment 1 along with all ewes microimplanted in the premammillary region entered neuroendocrine anestrus. Thus, the premammillary region and vmPOA are brain sites in which thyroid hormones act to permit the onset of seasonal anestrus.

Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which is still not thoroughly understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution for all hair loss cases. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.

Hair Million is an alternative solution to cope with hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement especially for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a fraction of people who take it. We do not know the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. We only know by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth.














DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
