Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a significant social and public health issue for menstruating women. Development of targeted treatments has been limited by poor understanding of local mechanisms underlying HMB. We aimed to determine how gene expression differs in menstrual phase endometrium from women with HMB. Menstrual phase endometrial biopsies were collected from women with (n = 7) and witho...... hiện toàn bộ
Enhanced Expression of P2X4 and P2X7 Purinergic Receptors in the Myometrium of Pregnant Rats in Preterm Delivery ModelsReproductive Sciences - Tập 16 - Trang 1186-1192 - 2009

The expression levels of P2X purinergic receptors were determined in the myometrium of pregnant rats using the quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of P2X4 and P2X7 were expressed most strongly. The expression levels of these receptors increased during the late stages of pregnancy; at the time of delivery, the mRNA levels of P2...... hiện toàn bộ
The Effect of Mild Hypothermia on Insulin-like Growth Factors After Severe Asphyxia in the Preterm Fetal SheepReproductive Sciences - Tập 12 - Trang 232-237 - 2005

Persistent reductions in insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels in the preterm infant are strongly associated with increased risk of retinopathy and other complications, and may result from exposure to severe hypoxia. The effects of a potential new treatment for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral hypothermia, on the responses of the IGF axis to hypoxia are unknown. The aim of this stud...... hiện toàn bộ
Aberrant Splicing of the TSG101 Tumor Suppressor Gene in Human Breast and Ovarian CancersReproductive Sciences - Tập 5 - Trang 281-285 - 1998

To determine whether large deletions or other alterations in the putative tumor suppressor gene TSG101 play a role in the molecular pathogenesis of breast and ovarian cancers. Expression of TSG101 transcripts was examined in breast and ovarian cancers using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and selected transcripts were sequenced. Southern blot analysis was performed to...... hiện toàn bộ
Constitutive Androstane Receptor Expression in the Rat Cervix During GestationReproductive Sciences - Tập 7 - Trang 355-357 - 2000
Daniel F. Rychlik, Eric Bieber, Mark Phillippe
To investigate expression of the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) in the pregnant rat cervix. Rat uterine tissue was obtained on gestational days 12, 16, 20, 21, and 22 (the day of parturition), and postpartum day 1. In addition, liver, lung, kidney, heart, and skeletal muscle tissue were obtained. Expression of the two known CAR isoforms was evaluated using reverse transcriptase-polymerase ...... hiện toàn bộ
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Use in Pregnancy and Protective Mechanisms in PreeclampsiaReproductive Sciences - Tập 30 - Trang 701-712 - 2022

Depression and preeclampsia share risk factors and are bi-directionally associated with increased risk for each other. Despite epidemiological evidence linking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in pregnancy to preeclampsia, serotonin (5-HT) and vasopressin (AVP) secretion mechanisms suggest that SSRIs may attenuate preeclampsia risk. However, there is a need to clarify the relationsh...... hiện toàn bộ

The effect of prolonged intertwin delivery interval (IDI) is not well studied. This work aimed to assess the inflection point for Cesarean delivery (CD) and associated adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. This was a retrospective cohort study at a single tertiary care center. The study included women with twin pregnancies in 2010–2019 who reached the second stage of labor, and assessed the most...... hiện toàn bộ
Developmental Programming: Prenatal Testosterone Excess on Ovarian SF1/DAX1/FOXO3Reproductive Sciences - Tập 27 - Trang 342-354 - 2020
Muraly Puttabyatappa, Valentina Matiller, Antonela F. Stassi, Natalia R. Salvetti, Hugo H. Ortega, Vasantha Padmanabhan
Prenatal testosterone (T) excess, partly via androgenic programming, enhances follicular recruitment/persistence in sheep as in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Decreased anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in early growing and increased AMH in antral follicles may underlie enhanced recruitment and persistence, respectively. Changes in AMH may be mediated by steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1), an...... hiện toàn bộ
Decreased Frequency of CD8+HLA-G+ T Cell in the Peripheral Blood of Primary Unexplained Infertile FemalesReproductive Sciences - Tập 28 - Trang 1939-1944 - 2021

Most of the findings have focused on the importance of CD4+HLA-G+ and CD8+HLA-G+ regulatory T cells (Treg) during pregnancy. It has been demonstrated that these HLA-G+ T cell subsets could induce maternal immune tolerance against semi-allogenic conceptus during pregnancy. There are only a few experiments regarding the Treg cells in the context of unexplained infertility (UI). Thirty-five participa...... hiện toàn bộ
