The inhibins are produced and secreted by several ovarian cancers. Monitoring serum
levels by immunoassay may be a useful diagnostic aid in the initial assessment of this�…

Inhibin‐α, a member of transforming growth factor‐β, is elevated in multiple tumors, but its
specific roles are poorly understood. Here, we examined the feature of inhibin‐α‐expressing�…

The physiological role of intraovarian activin (beta/beta) and inhibin (alpha/beta) dimers in
humans in unclear. The identification of follistatin as a beta-subunit-specific high affinity�…

Granulosa cell tumors of the ovary (GCT) express the inhibin subunit genes and secrete
dimeric inhibin. Transgenic mice null for the α-inhibin gene develop GCT. It has been�…

Background. Activins and inhibins are polypeptide hormones/growth factors of primarily
gonadal origin. In the ovary, activins and inhibins are primarily synthesized by granulosa�…

Inhibin is a peptide hormone produced by ovarian granulosa cells and by granulosa cell
tumors. Serum inhibin measurements have been used as a biochemical marker of the�…

Objective To compare serum and peritoneal fluid concentrations of inhibin A, B, and pro-
alphaC in women with ovarian tumors. Methods Serum and peritoneal fluid samples were�…

In the present study, the expression of inhibin/activin subunits in the mouse ovary from 13
days post-coitus (dpc) to 30 days postpartum (dpp) was investigated. Circulating FSH, LH�…

Inhibins are heterodimeric protein hormones secreted by the granulosa cells of the ovary in
the female and the Sertoli cells of the testis in the male. Published research studies have�…

We studied the expression of inhibin/activin subunit mRNAs in granulosa-luteal cells of
preovulatory ovarian follicles obtained from women undergoing in vitro fertilization, and in�…
