Comparison of immunocytologic localization of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 in normal and polycystic ovary syndrome human ovaries.

abstract：:Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)-stimulated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) response in normal subjects is suppressed by oral glucose administration. Pharmacologic studies indicate that this suppressive action of glucose is mediated by an increase in hypothalamic somatostatin (SRIH) tone. Since activation of the ...
