Marker for granulosa cell tumor:
Ans. is 'c' i.e. Inhibin Inhibin is a peptide hormone produced by ovarian granulosa cells that are made up of an alpha sub unit and Beta subunit.Inhibin are of two types - inhibin A and inhibin B.Both inhibin A and B can be elevated in granulosa cell tumours but inhibin B levels are usually elevated more.Typical cutoffs for normal inhibin levels in post- menopausal or oophorectomize women are :* Inhibin A -<= 5 ng/L * Inhibin B -<=15 ng/LInhibin may have an important role in the control of fertility both in the males and females.In females inhibin secretion suppresses FSH but stimulates LH secretion.
