OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical significance of LH in the form of a mutant beta-subunit in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). DESIGN: Prospective, controlled study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): Thirty healthy women and 30 women with PCOS. INTERVENTION(S): Clinical, ultrasonographic, and hormonal findings were used to define PCOS. Nucleotide mutations within codons 8 and 15 in the LH beta-subunit gene (Trp8 => Arg and Ile15 => Thr) were analyzed with the use of polymerase chain reaction and subsequent restriction fragment length polymorphism. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Serum levels of gonadotropins, androgens, E2, and prolactin were determined, and the results of restriction fragment length polymorphism were analyzed. RESULT(S): Five women in the control group and one woman in the PCOS group were found to be affected by the LHbeta gene mutations. No difference was observed in serum androgen and E2 levels between the affected women and 25 healthy women who were homozygous for the wild-type LH. However, women whose serum LH levels were < or = 5.1 mIU/mL had a higher risk of having mutant LH. CONCLUSION(S): The frequency of LH mutations in women with PCOS is similar to that in healthy women. The presence of the variant does not cause any significant change in serum levels of androgens and E2.

Melatonin inhibits release of luteinizing hormone (LH) via decrease of [Ca2+]i and cyclic AMP.

Vanecek J.

Institute of Physiology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague.

The role of [Ca2+]i and cAMP in transduction of the melatonin inhibitory effect on GnRH-induced LH release from neonatal rat gonadotrophs has been studied, because melatonin inhibits the increase of both intracellular messengers. Treatments increasing Ca2+ influx (S(-) Bay K8644 or KCI) or cAMP concentration (8-bromo-cAMP or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) potentiated the GnRH-induced LH release and partially diminished the inhibitory effect of melatonin. Combination of the treatments increasing cAMP and calcium concentrations blocked completely the melatonin inhibition of LH release. The combined treatment with 8-bromo-cAMP and S(-) Bay K8644 also blocked the melatonin inhibition of GnRH-induced [Ca2+]i increase in 89 % of the gonadotrophs, while any of the treatments alone blocked the melatonin effect in about 25 % of these cells. These observations suggest that a cAMP-dependent pathway is involved in regulation of Ca2+ influx by melatonin and melatonin inhibition of LH release may be mediated by the decrease of both messengers.

Pituitary homeobox 1 (Ptx1) is differentially expressed during pituitary development.

Lanctot C, Gauthier Y, Drouin J.

Pituitary homeobox 1 (Ptx1) is a homeodomain-containing transcription factor acting on transcription of all pituitary hormone genes. Its expression is first detected in the stomodeal ectoderm and is maintained in all derivatives of this structure, including Rathke's pouch. We now show that Ptx1 is expressed in all pituitary cells but that it is differentially expressed in different lineages at both the messenger RNA and protein levels. On day 12.5 of mouse embryonic development, cells expressing the highest levels of Ptx1 are restricted to the forming pars tuberalis, also called the rostral tip, a region where the first alpha-glycoprotein subunit-expressing cells appear. Coimmunolocalization studies reveal that alpha-glycoprotein subunit-positive cells express the highest levels of Ptx1 throughout development and in the adult gland. The quantitative differences in Ptx1 expression in pituitary cell lineages may relate to a role in cell proliferation, lineage commitment, and/or the control of organ development.

Contact activation factors in plasma from women on estrogen replacement therapy after ovariohysterectomy.

The plasma levels of factor XII, prekallikrein, factor XI, and high molecular weight kininogen were studied in women with bilateral oophorectomy and hysterectomy who received hormone replacement therapy with a 2 mg daily dose of estradiol valerate. Also plasminogen activator activity was investigated. The observations made provide support for the assumption that the low doses of estrogen used in hormone replacement therapy do not significantly affect the levels of contact activation or fibrinolytic factors in plasma. Plasma obtained from young, healthy women was used as a standard reference material. Significantly higher levels of factor XII and prekallikrein were registered in functional tests in the ectomized women than in the reference material, an increase not observed in the immunological assays. These observations are discussed in light of recently published data from our laboratory on an increase in the measured level of factor XII obtained upon the removal of IgG before assay. Also a marked increase in urokinase activity was registered in the ectomized women. The high levels of factor XII, prekallikrein, and urokinase, as compared with the reference material, seemed to be age dependent, being also observed in a group of naturally postmenopausal women.

Influence of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors on the vasopressin-induced pituitary-adrenocortical activity and hypothalamic catecholamine levels.

In the present study the role of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) in the vasopressin-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion was investigated in conscious rats. Vasopressin (AVP 5 microg/kg i.p.) considerably augmented ACTH and corticosterone secretion. L-arginine (120 and 300 mg/kg i.p.) did not significantly alter the AVP-induced secretion of those hormones. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) blockers N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) and its methyl ester (L-NAME) given i.p. 15 min before AVP markedly increased the AVP-induced ACTH secretion. L-NNA (2 mg/kg) more potently and significantly increased the AVP-induced ACTH secretion, whereas L-NAME elicited a weaker and not significant effect. Both those NOS antagonists intensified significantly and to a similar extent the AVP-induced corticosterone secretion. L-arginine (120 mg/kg i.p.) reversed the L-NNA-induced rise in the AVP-stimulated ACTH secretion and substantially diminished the accompanying corticosterone secretion. Neither vasopressin alone nor in combination with L-arginine and L-NAME evoked any significant alterations in the hypothalamic noradrenaline and dopamine levels. L-NNA (2 and 10 mg/kg i.p.) elicited a dose dependent and significant decrease in the hypothalamic noradrenaline level. The hypothalamic dopamine level was not significantly altered by any treatment. These results indicate that in conscious rats endogenous NO has an inhibitory influence on the AVP-induced increase in ACTH and corticosterone secretion. L-NNA is significantly more potent than L-NAME in increasing the AVP-induced ACTH secretion. This may be connected with a considerable increase by L-NNA of hypothalamic noradrenergic system activation which stimulates the pituitary-adrenal axis in addition to specific inhibition of NOS.

Hair loss is a problem in modern soceity. Examining the factors of hair growth may shed light on how hair loss might occur. How long can hair grow before it stops growing eventually if it does? Given that the hair growth rate is quite uniform and constant, somewhere between 0.3-0.5 millimeters per day, it's believed that the length of anagen, the growth phase, differs among individuals, and this is the major determinant to the maximum hair length. For some individuals, anagen may last ten years. Of course the length of the anagen is governed by genes, and the genetic background of the individuals. Non-genetic factors such as nutritional condition, weather, seasonal changes (hair may grow a bit faster during winter), taking medications, health condition may of course influence the rate of hair growth as well as hair loss. The shape of the hair, straight or curly, is dependent on the shape of the follicle. A circular or round hair follicle would generate straight hair, while the follicle with oval or elliptical shapes (in its cross-section) would produce a curly hair.
