(ENDOCRINE SOC, 2008-09)Chloride permeability pathways and progesterone (P4) secretion elicited by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in human granulosa cells were studied by electrophysiological techniques and single-cell volume, membrane ...
-
(2011)Background: The endometrium is a dynamic tissue whose changes are driven by the ovarian steroidal hormones. Its main function is to provide an adequate substrate for embryo implantation. Using microarray technology, several ...
-
(1984)[3H]R5020 was bound to cytosolic and nuclear samples of human Fallopian tube with high affinity and specificity. The cytoplasmic and nuclear concentrations of progestagen receptor varied, throughout the menstrual cycle, ...
-
(Oxford University, 1996)The differentia] capacity for steroid synthesis of human luteal cell subpopulations was investigated in a well defined cell culture system. Corpora lutea were enzymatically dissociated, and the two cell types were ...
-
(1991)The authors studied the effects of 4-hydroxyandrostene-3,17-dione (4-OHA) on progesterone (P), 17β-estradiol (E2), and 20α-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one synthesis and pregnenolone accumulation in cultured human midluteal cells. ...
-
(1984)Hydrosalpinx is usually associated with a low intrauterine pregnancy rate following restoration of tubal patency by microsurgery. The biochemical evaluation of pathologic tubes from 11 infertile patients showed the presence ...
-
(BioScientifica Ltd., 1995)To evaluate the effect of reactive oxygen species in human corpus luteum function, we investigated whether hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) affects the in vitro luteal cell production of steroids. H2O2 treatment (1.0-100 μM) of ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 1994)With the objective of measuring the prevalence and duration of infertility in a developing country, a retrospective cross-sectional study was designed. The survey was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)Objective: To evaluate the effect of iron overload on nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappa B) activation in human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). Design: Experimental study. Setting: University hospital research ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 1994)It has been reported that the mammalian corpus luteum is composed mainly of two subpopulations of luteal cells (large and small) of different morphology and function. The aims of this study were first to characterize ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012-03)Objective: To evaluate nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kB) activation and NF-kB–p65 subunit activation, immunolocalization, and expression in the endometrium of healthy women and endometriosis patients throughout the menstrual ...
-
(1990)Although administration of Clomiphene Citrate (CC) is an effective therapy for ovulation induction in PCO patients, 15 to 20% of PCO patients do not ovulate following CC treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the ...
-
(1997)The role of angiotensin II (Angll) in ovarian steroidogenesis is not clearly understood. In order to study its action on progesterone synthesis and to determine which receptor subtype is involved, granulosa cells obtained ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012-03)Objective: To study in vivo the progesterone receptor (PR) expression levels in human granulosa cells (GCs) during the periovulatory period and the affect of the protein kinase A (PKA) pathway on PR expression and cathepsin-L ...
-
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2005-10-20)The distribution of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) inside thecal and granulosa-lutein cells of human corpus luteum 9 (CL) was assessed by immunoelectron microscopy. We found greater levels of StAR ...
