Research or Clinical Activities
The听Bernard听lab investigates molecular mechanisms of pituitary hormone synthesis and action using in vitro and in vivo approaches. Projects in the lab concern: 1) signal transduction mechanisms through which members of the transforming growth factor 尾 superfamily regulate pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesis, 2) mechanisms of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) signaling in pituitary gonadotrope cells, 3) extragonadal actions of FSH, and 4) hypothalamic-pituitary control of thyroid hormone production.
