(1975)A human placental protein previously described is studied in order to expand its biological characterization. Dose response curve of its action on uterine growth of prepuberal mice showed to be a significant logarithmic ...
-
(2005)In a short historical review of the outstanding changes occurred in the whole of endocrinology and particularly in Chile over the last 60 years -with the background of an infant mortality drop from 200 per thousand in 1940 ...

(Endocrine Society, 1996)Several members of the neurotrophin (NT) family, including nerve growth factor (NGF), NT-3, and NT-4/5, are expressed in the mammalian ovary. As their respective receptor tyrosine kinases are also found in the gland, the ...
-
(2008)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 potential ...
-
(1993)Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common human ovarian pathologies affecting women of reproductive age. Despite extensive investigation, the etiology of PCOS remains poorly understood. Experimentally, ...

Adrenal function during childhood and puberty in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (Endocrine Society, 2009)Context: In some patients, PCOS may develop as a consequence of an exaggerated adrenarche during pubertal development. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess adrenal function during childhood and pubertal development ...
-
(1985)Ketoconazole, an imidazole derivative known to inhibit cytochrome P450-dependent adrenal enzymes was given to a patient with a functioning adrenal rest tumor of the liver in preparation for surgery. The drug was administered ...
-
(2008)RET testing in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 for molecular diagnosis is the paradigm for the practice of clinical cancer genetics. However, precise data for distinct mutation-based risk profiles are not available. ...
-
(BioScientifica Ltd., 1997)In this work, the involvement of arachidonic acid (AA) in the luteinizing hormone and human chorionic gonadotrophin (LH/hCG) action on Leydig cells was studied. Experiments were first designed to evaluate [14C]AA incorporation ...
-
(2002)We have previously demonstrated that the release of arachidonic acid (AA) from human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-stimulated Leydig cells occurs in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In addition, the amount of AA released ...
-
(2009)Endometriosis is a benign gynecological pathology in which immune system deregulation may play a role in its initiation and progression. In endometriotic lesions, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) is released from ...
-
(2005)Background: Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. The fragments in normal menstruation are composed of necrotic and living cells, which ...
-
(1967)(6,7-3H) oestradiol-17β incorporation by the rat uterus has been studied using autoradiography. The cytoplasm and/or the cellular membrane of uterine eosinophilic cells seems to incorporate oestradiol in a much greater ...
-
(Endocrine Society, 2007)Context: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels are increased in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), but it is not known whether other forms of hyperandrogenism, such as PCOS observed in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus ...
-
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2016)© 2016 Diabetes UK.Aims: To evaluate C-reactive protein, insulin growth factor 1 and lipid levels during the follicular and luteal phases in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes. Methods: Adolescents with Type 1 diabetes (N = ...
-
(1981)The role of calcium in the angiotensin II- or potassium-mediated increase in aldosterone production was analyzed in isolated glomerulosa cells prepared from bovine adrenal glands. The response to potassium was highly ...
-
(1995)The fetal llama exposed to an intense degree of hypoxaemia did not increase cerebral blood flow, but showed a marked peripheral vasoconstriction. The same cardiovascular response is observed in fetal sheep submitted to a ...
