Description:
The antigonadal effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in ovarian granulosa cells are due to attenuation of the adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) response to follicle-stimulating hormone. Agonists of gonadotropin-releasing hormone progressively inhibit adenylate cyclase and stimulate phosphodiesterase activities in cultured granulosa cells, indicating that blockade of gonadotropin action is attributable to the combined effects of decreased production and increased degradation of cyclic AMP.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Knecht, M -- Catt, K J -- 5 F32 HDO5801/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Dec 18;214(4527):1346-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6274016" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
