FSHR gene Thr307Ala and Asn680Ser polymorphisms in infertile men: an association study in North China and meta-analysis

X. Q. Wu, Xu, S. M., Wang, Y. Q., Li, Q., Wang, Z. Q., Zhang, C. L., and Shen, Y., FSHR gene Thr307Ala and Asn680Ser polymorphisms in infertile men: an association study in North China and meta-analysis, vol. 14, pp. 5592-5601, 2015.

Male infertility is a complex multifactorial and polygenic disease, and genetic factors play an important role in its formation and development. Recently, the association between follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) gene polymorphisms and male infertility risk has attracted widespread attention due to the unique biological functions of FSH. The aim of this study was to further explore the associations between the Thr307Ala and Asn680Ser polymorphisms of the FSHR gene and male infertility.

Cloprostenol and pregnant mare serum gonadotropin promote estrus synchronization, uterine development, and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor expression in mice

S. Wei, Gong, Z., An, L., Zhang, T., Dai, H., and Chen, S., Cloprostenol and pregnant mare serum gonadotropin promote estrus synchronization, uterine development, and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor expression in mice, vol. 14, pp. 7184-7195, 2015.

This study investigated the effects of pregnant mare se­rum gonadotropin (PMSG) and cloprostenol (CLO) on estrus induc­tion and synchronization, uterine development, and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) expression in mice. A total of 105 Kunming pre-puberty mice were divided into seven subgroups. Three PMSG sub­groups were injected intraperitoneally with 10, 20, and 40 IU PMSG twice (on days 0 and 4), and three CLO subgroups were injected intra­peritoneally with 10, 15, and 20 μg cloprostenol acetate twice (on days 0 and 4).

Effects of polymorphisms of LHR and FSHR genes on sexual precocity in a Bos taurus x Bos indicusbeef composite population

E. P. Marson, Ferraz, J. B. S., Meirelles, F. V., Balieiro, J. C. C., and Eler, J. P., Effects of polymorphisms of LHR and FSHR genes on sexual precocity in a Bos taurus x Bos indicusbeef composite population, vol. 7, pp. 243-251, 2008.

The purpose of the present research was to investigate the effects of polymorphisms of luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) genes, evaluated by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in European-Zebu composite beef heifers from six different breed compositions. The polymorphism site analysis from digestion with HhaI and AluI restriction endonucleases allowed the genotype identification for LHR (TT, CT and CC) and FSHR (GG, CG and CC) genes.
