Recombinant Follicle-Stimulating Hormone and Luteinizing Hormone Enhance Mitochondrial Function and Metabolism in Aging Female Reproductive Cells.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ovarian aging significantly impacts female fertility, with mitochondrial dysfunction emerging as a key factor. This study investigated the effects of recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) on mitochondrial function and metabolism in aging female reproductive cells. Human granulosa cells (HGL5) were treated with FSH/LH or not. Mitochondrial function was assessed through various assays, including mitochondrial mass, membrane potential, ROS levels, and ATP production. Mitochondrial dynamics and morphology were analyzed using MitoTracker staining. Cellular respiration was measured using a Seahorse Bioenergetics Analyzer. Metabolic reprogramming was evaluated through gene expression analysis and metabolite profiling. In vivo effects were studied using aging mouse oocytes. FSH/LH treatment significantly improved mitochondrial function in aging granulosa cells, increasing mitochondrial mass and membrane potential while reducing ROS levels. Mitochondrial dynamics showed a shift towards fusion and elongation. Cellular respiration, ATP production, and spare respiratory capacity were enhanced. FSH/LH-induced favorable alterations in cellular metabolism, favoring oxidative phosphorylation. In aging mouse oocytes, FSH/LH treatment improved in vitro maturation and mitochondrial health. In conclusion, FSH/LH supplementation ameliorates age-related mitochondrial dysfunction and improves cellular metabolism in aging female reproductive cells.
