endocrine/exocrine glands
• 1.5 month old mice injected with superovulatory levels of equine gonadotropin and human gonadotropin exhibit ovaries with many abnormal, degenerating follicles in which oocytes are shrunken or absent
|
• in some ovarian follicles of mice injected with superovulatory levels of equine gonadotropin and human gonadotropin, granulosa cells are abnormally displaced and growing on one side
|
• about 20% of mice develop granulosa cell tumors by 6-8 months of age
• most tumors from 6-11 months of age are unilateral and solid with regions of trabecular- and gyriform-like structures
• some tumors contain cystic or hemorrhagic follicle-like structures devoid of oocytes and/or regions of necrosis
• 65% of 1.5 month old mice injected with superovulatory levels of equine gonadotropin and human gonadotropin develop granulosa cell tumors or cysts
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• tumor bearing mice exhibit increased levels of serum inhibin A and inhibin B
|
• serum levels of estradiol are elevated in tumor bearing mice
|
• serum follicle stimulating hormone levels are below the level of detection in tumor bearing mice
|
• serum luteinizing hormone levels are below the level of detection in tumor bearing mice
|
neoplasm
• about 20% of mice develop granulosa cell tumors by 6-8 months of age
• most tumors from 6-11 months of age are unilateral and solid with regions of trabecular- and gyriform-like structures
• some tumors contain cystic or hemorrhagic follicle-like structures devoid of oocytes and/or regions of necrosis
• 65% of 1.5 month old mice injected with superovulatory levels of equine gonadotropin and human gonadotropin develop granulosa cell tumors or cysts
