The immunohistochemical localization of the alpha-, beta A-, and beta B-subunits of inhibin
was examined in human follicles during follicular growth. Immunoreactive staining with�…

Activin A and inhibin A, first isolated from the ovary, are dimeric proteins able to modulate
pituitary FSH secretion. Inhibin A is a heterodimer composed of one α-subunit and one βA�…

Previous observations from our laboratory have demonstrated that the levels of
immunoreactive inhibin (ir-inh) are elevated in almost all patients with granulosa cell�…

Objective: To evaluate the expression of inhibin A and activin A in ovarian endometriosis.
Design: Uncontrolled cross-sectional study and controlled prospective in vitro study. Setting�…

The biological function of the inhibin-α subunit (INHA) in gonadal tumorigenesis is different
in humans compared with mouse. The INHA subunit is up-regulated in most human ovarian�…

Inhibins are dimeric glycoproteins, composed of an alpha-subunit and one of two possible
beta-subunits (betaA or betaB), with substantial roles in human reproduction and in�…

Inhibin is an ovarian protein previously shown, using a nonspecific assay, to be elevated in
serum of women with ovarian cancer. However, inhibin is secreted in multiple biochemical�…

Inhibins (INH) are dimeric glycoproteins, composed of an alpha-subunit (INH-α) and one of
two possible beta-subunits (INH-βA or-βB), with substantial roles in human reproduction and�…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the expression of inhibin βA and βB subunits and follistatin and
the ability of human epididymal epithelium to synthesize these molecules. DESIGN: The�…

Inhibin/activin subunits are homologues to each other and belong to the transforming growth
factor-beta (TGF-β) family of proteins. These proteins have been demonstrated to be�…
