MOLECULAR   DYNAMICS   OF   GONADOTROPINS

 

 

 

Dr. Lin’s research interest is to understand the regulatory mechanisms involved:

 

 

- in controlling the vertebrate reproductive cycle,

- to identify the hierarchy of extragonadal (pituitary gonadotropic hormones)

- and intragonadal (steroid hormones and gonadal peptides) molecules

- and to decipher how their episodic releases

- stimulate gonadal development.  

 

Derangements in the episodic secretion of gonadotropins (GTHs)

- frequently cause infertility in humans.

 

 

 

The elucidation of the molecular and biological mechanisms by which :

- gonadotropins,

- gonadal peptides

- and steroids

- control episodic reproductive activities

 

 

may provide new insights for understanding :

 

- not only the basic productive process,

- but also very possibly unravel

- the etiologies of menstrual dysfunction in humans.
