English to Portuguese: FSH
Source text - English Summary and Explanation
FSH is a member of the gonadotropin family of hormones and is secreted by the -cells of the anterior pituitary gland. It is a 30,000 Daltons heterodimer molecule, composed of an alpha chain and a beta chain. The alpha chain (96 amino acids) is structurally similar to the alpha chains of other glycoproteins, like LH, TSH and hCG. The beta chain (120 amino acids) is unique to FSH and it confers its biological and immunological specificity and directs its specific physiological activities.1
FSH is necessary for follicular maturation and ovarian steroidogenesis in mature females. Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) is secreted by the hypothalamus and it acts on the anterior pituitary of the brain to release FSH and LH. These act on the ovaries, stimulating the maturing follicles and corpus luteum to release estradiol and progesterone.
The levels of FSH in serum fluctuate during different phases of the menstrual cycle in response to estradiol and progesterone which control the circulating levels of FSH by a negative feedback effect on the hypothalamus.
FSH release is inhibited by rising estradiol and progesterone levels produced by the corpus luteum in the luteal phase.2, 3

A cadeia alfa (96 aminoácidos) é estruturalmente semelhante às cadeias alfa de outras glicoproteínas, como a LH, TSH e hCG. A cadeia beta (120 aminoácidos) é exclusiva da FSH, conferindo-lhe a sua especificidade biológica e imunológica e dirigindo-a para as suas actividades fisiológicas específicas.1
A FSH é necessária para a maturação folicular e esteroidogénese dos ovários em mulheres adultas. A hormona libertadora de gonadotropina (GnRH) é segregada pelo hipotálamo e actua na pituitária do cérebro para libertar FSH e LH. Estas actuam nos ovários, estimulando os folículos maduros e o corpus luteum para libertar estradiol e progesterona.
Os níveis de FSH no soro variam durante as diferentes fases do ciclo menstrual, em resposta ao estradiol e à progesterona, que controlam os níveis de circulação de FSH através de um efeito de feedback negativo no hipotálamo.
A libertação de FSH é inibida através da elevação dos níveis de estradiol e progesterona produzidos pelo corpus luteum na fase luteal.2, 3
