      In the rat oviduct, estradiol (E2) accelerates egg transport by a nongenomic action that requires previous conversion of E2 to methoxyestrogens via catechol-O-methyltranferase (COMT) and activation of estrogen receptor ...
    • Rosas Chuñil, Carlos; Oróstica Arévalo, María Lorena; Poblete, Cristian; Carvajal Gavilán, Rodrigo; Gabler Neale, Fernando; Romero Osses, Carmen; Lavandero González, Sergio; Vega Blanco, María Margarita (SAGE, 2016)
      Background: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exhibit a low fertility by chronic hyperandrogenemia. Different evidence have shown that androgens could regulate the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis and glucose ...
    • Plaza Parrochia, Francisca; Oróstica Arévalo, María Lorena; García, Paula; Vera, Carolina; Romero Osses, Carmen; Valladares Boasi, Luis; Vega Blanco, María Margarita (SAGE Publications Inc, 2017)
      Proliferation in endometria of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is increased, similar to the biosynthesis of androstenediol (estrogenic metabolite). As previously shown, in human endometrial cells, androstenediol ...

    • Reuquen, Patricia; Guajardo Correa, Emanuel; Oróstica Arévalo, María Lorena; Curotto, Constanza; Parada Bustamante, Alexis; Cárdenas Villarreal, Hugo; Orihuela, Pedro A. (Institute animal reproduction food research, 2017)
      Vaginocervical stimulation (VCS) induces twice-daily prolactin (PRL) surges resulting in pseudopregnancy in the rat. Furthermore, activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (Erk-1/2) is involved in the ...
