In normal conditions, an intervention of PKA and PKC in the cAMP-PKA and PKC-MAPK signaling pathways of pituitary GTH cells affect gene expression and secretion levels of FSH and LH in the pituitary, implying that the transduction functions of these two signaling pathways are pivotal factors influencing the secretion of FSH and LH in the pituitary (Naor et al., 1998; Garrido-Gracia et al., 2006; Zhao et al., 2011).
