whereas treatment with the gonadotropin follicle-stimulating hormone ( fsh ) , a potent functional regulator , resulted in a substantial increase in the extent of aromatization ( conversion of androgenic steroid precursors to estrogens ) , concomitant exposure to tnf-alpha ( 10 ng/ml ) produced significant ( p less than 0.05 ) , yet reversible inhibition ( 71 +/- 7 % ) of this fsh effect .
