info on FSH receptor
editHow about we get a little info about the FSH receptor, the molecular biology behind it, etc? This page is seriously lacking at this point in time. Ill be back (In an Arnold like manner) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.93.190.42 (talk) 23:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

This article contains the statement, "FSH regulates the development, growth, pubertol maturation, and reproductive processes of the human body." This would seem to imply the FSH is a distinguishing feature of humans, and that therefore, other Hominidae must be using other hormones to achieve analogous tasks. Would someone care to verify or clarify? Thank you. ImagawaMark (talk) 00:08, 7 January 2008 (UTC) |

Measurement
editThe measurement section describes taking the measurements during the menstrual cycle. Obviously, this only applies to people who menstruate. Does anyone have a source they can use to add information on measuring it in everyone else? 68.142.180.84 (talk) 12:26, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
Proposed Edits for FSH Article
editFoundations II 2020 Group 9 proposed edits
editAs a group, we are planning to complete the following edits within the next two weeks: 1. Reword the Structures section emphasizing less technical language, as well as change lay-out to that similar to the Luteinizing Hormone Wikipedia article emphasizing reader clarity. 2. Add current sources to the Disease States section. 3. Add current sources to the Use as Therapy section. 4. Add normal levels to the Measurements section. 5. Reformat the final four sections together for simplicity. 6. Expand the final section to include other future roles in therapy (if any). 7. Add to the "effects in males" subheading.

These edits were not completed due to the reduction in articles assigned to be completed. As a group, we chose not to focus on Follicle-stimulating hormone. Wrroth97 (talk) 17:41, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
XY/XX individual change
editI notice recent edits by 151.42.39.179 on Jul 26, 2021 replaced the words male and female with XY/XX individual. I'm frankly ignorant of the scientific or wikipedia-policy basis for this change. But it seems to me like this article about a hormone uses a medical definition of gender that is not necessarily based in the XX/XY distinction. I don't honestly know if "XX individual" even has a clear meaning in a medical / scientific context. Anyways I think the change is mostly bad (though not all bad, noting the organ involved seems like an improvement!) but I'm not going to impose my belief on the article because of my afore-mentioned ignorance. Hopefully this will draw the attention of someone who knows more about medicine and/or wikipedia... cheers! 69.151.178.164 (talk) 01:15, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Well, "male", "female", "XX", and "XY" are all wrong, see, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadal_dysgenesis. "A person who has some ovarial tissue (not necessary an ovar)" and "a person who has some testicular tissue (not necessarily an testicle)" would be better, but on the other hand readability would be reduced. Anybody any idea how to fix that? 2A01:C23:71C2:2400:849C:37D9:F813:86AD (talk) 11:05, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
Males and females in italics?
editWhy are "males" and "females" in italics in the Activity and functions section, but not the rest of the article? Is that a convention used in other Wikipedia articles? Generally speaking, when should those words be in italics? Pmokeefe (talk) 10:17, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
