Decreased production of inhibin or increased production of activin can increase levels of this hormone, whose release is stimulated by a hormone that isn't produced in patients with Kalmann syndrome.
This hormone has been found to stimulate the release of TNF and promote osteoclast and osteoblast formation, and it is secreted in lower levels in patients with Stein-Leventhal syndrome. Binding to one form of its receptors can imitate growth signals to trigger ovarian cancer cell proliferation. Decreased production of inhibin or increased production of activin can increase levels of this hormone, whose release is stimulated by a hormone that isn't produced in patients with Kalmann syndrome. Binding its receptors in Sertoli cells increases the production of androgen-binding protein, and this hormone, whose release is stimulated by the hypothalamic hormone GnRH, serves as a survival factor for what will become the dominant ovum in an ovary. For 10 points, name this gonadotropin that, like luteinizing hormone, is created in the anterior pituitary gland and that plays an important role in the maturation of ova and sperm.
