Inhibin is a peptide hormone normally produced by the ovary. We have previously reported
that serum inhibin concentrations are elevated in patients with granulosa cell tumours of the�…

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to examine the cellular localization of inhibin subunits and
messenger ribonucleic acid expressions for the inhibin subunits and the serum levels of�…

Inhibin production has been demonstrated in malignant epithelial ovarian tumours, but
secretion of inhibins by benign cystadenoma has not yet been reported. The present study�…

Inhibin is a dimeric (α and either βA or βB subunit) protein involved in the regulation of
fertility. Inhibin A and B or its free α subunit monomer are elevated in various gonadal and�…

In post-menopausal women with a malignant epithelial ovarian tumor the follicle stimulating
hormone (FSH) level was found to be significantly lower compared with healthy controls. We�…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE We have previously reported elevated serum
immunoreactive inhibin (INH) levels in patients with ovarian malignancies, particularly�…

Inhibins and activins are important regulators of the female reproductive system. A novel
inhibin subunit, named βC, has been identified and demonstrated to be expressed in�…

Inhibin is a gonadal glycoprotein hormone, originally isolated from bovine follicular fluid as a
58-kDa dimeric molecule (Robertson et al., 1985), and subsequently from both bovine and�…

The inhibins are a family of growth factors comprised of several different species that are
secreted in the female principally from the ovarian follicle. The inhibins perform best as�…

Research endocrinologists are well aware of inhibin and the family of proteins of which it is a
part. Inhibin was discovered almost 70 years ago as a product of the gonads that selectively�…
