activins and Cancer of Granulosa Cells

activins has been researched along with Cancer of Granulosa Cells in 15 studies

Activins: Activins are produced in the pituitary, gonads, and other tissues. By acting locally, they stimulate pituitary FSH secretion and have diverse effects on cell differentiation and embryonic development. Activins are glycoproteins that are hetero- or homodimers of INHIBIN-BETA SUBUNITS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumors are a rare cause of sexual precocity."2.39Immunoreactive inhibin, müllerian inhibitory substance, and activin as biochemical markers for juvenile granulosa cell tumors. ( Gitelman, SE; Silverman, LA, 1996)
"In patient PP, a residual tumor was found 6 years after primary surgery; at the time A levels were elevated, while inhibin levels remained low."1.32Activin B in patients with granulosa cell tumors: serum levels in comparison to inhibin. ( Bläuer, M; Puistola, U; Tuohimaa, P; Vihko, KK, 2003)
"None of the patients with an epithelial ovarian cancer presented an increase of serum inhibin B."1.30Inhibin B is the major form of inhibin/activin family secreted by granulosa cell tumors. ( Bidart, JM; Lhomme, C; Luisi, S; Pautier, P; Petraglia, F; Rey, R; Sabourin, JC, 1998)
