Skeletal overexpression of gremlin impairs bone formation and causes osteopenia.

abstract：:It is well established that TRH exerts a stimulatory effect on the secretion of both TSH and PRL. Clinically, hyperprolactinemia is usually present in hypothyroid women, but not men. In experimental studies, results vary because of the sexes, and treatments of animals differ. The purpose of this study was to further i...

To determine the role of inhibin in maintaining low LHRH responsiveness in pituitaries of diestrous female rats, endogenous inhib...
