Human follicular fluid from superovulated women inhibits progesterone receptor-dependent gonadotropin-releasing hormone self-priming in an estrous cycle-dependent manner in the rat
These experiments investigated the involvement of gonadotrope progesterone receptor (PR) in the effects of the putative gonadotropin surge-attenuating factor (GnSAF) on gonadotropin (LH and FSH) secretion. Hum...

Protein kinase C cross-talk with gonadotrope progesterone receptor is involved in GnRH-induced LH secretion
In the absence of progesterone (P), the anti-P at the receptor RU486 reduces basal and GnRH-stimulated LH secretion bothin vivo andin vitro, demonstrating the existence of a ligand-independent activation of proge...

Effects of progesterone (P) and antiprogestin RU486 on LH and FSH release by incubated pituitaries from rats treated with the SERM LY117018-HCl and/or recombinant human FSH
The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the estrogen (ES) background on the effects of P or its antagonist RU486 on basal and LHRH-stimulated LH and FSH secretion. To do this, pituitaries c...

Inappropriate ovarian feedback in basal gonadotropin secretion in 4-day cyclic rat treated with mifepristone: Role of endogenous estradiol
Administration of the antiprogesterone RU486 to 4-day cyclic rats from metestrus onwards resulted in a dissociation of basal LH and FSH secretion and ovariectomy abolished this effect of RU486. Since RU486 als...
