Most kidney diseases attack the nephrons. This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Causes can include genetic problems, injuries, or medicines. You have a higher risk of kidney disease if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a close family member with kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease damages the nephrons slowly over several years. Other kidney problems include. Cancer.
Follicle-stimulating hormone. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone. FSH is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland, and regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body. FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) work together in the reproductive system.
Focillel-stimualting hormone (FSH) is a member of the gylcoprotein hormone family, which is a subfamily of the cystine knot growth factor superfamily [1,2]. The glycoprotein hormones are composed of heterodimeric glycoprotein subunits, a common Î±-subunit, and a hormone-specific Î²-subunit. While the Î±-subunit primary structure is identical for all glycoprotein hormones within the same species, the oligosaccharide populations differ in a hormone-specific manner [3-6]. Characterizing the oligosaccharides released from an Î±-subunit preparation can identify the hormone from which the subunit was derived [7]. There are 3 to 4 Î²-subunits in vertebrates, which combine with Î±-subunit to create either FSH, luteinizing hormone (LH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), or in primates and equids, chorionic gonadotropin (CG) [8]. As both glycoprotein hormone
