Chorionic gonadotropin stimulation of angiogenesis and pericyte recruitment.
CONTEXT During the periimplantation period, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) plays a key role by increasing the uterine blood flow through uterine vessel vasodilatation but also through angiogenesis. Indeed, we previously demonstrated that hCG contributes to endothelial cell recruitment and vessel formation. OBJECTIVE In this study, hCG was proposed as an arteriogenic factor that could prom...
متن کاملHuman Chorionic Gonadotropin
A highly active preparation of human chorionic gonadotropin has been obtained by simple methods of column chromatography on diethylaminoethyl Sephadex and Sephadex G-100. The preparation appeared homogeneous by disc and immunoelectrophoresis, ultracentrifugation, and end group analysis. It assayed at 12,000 i.u. per mg by the rat prostrate gland and accessory sex organ method. The ~20,~ value w...
متن کاملChorionic Gonadotropin in Obesity
It is universally acknowledged that to be overweight is a serious handicap. The literature abounds with insurance statistics which show that the death rate is higher among the obese of every age group. No informed person would deny that obesity is a cause for concern or that it is a legitimate-even essential-subject for much further scientific and clinical investigation. The truth is that scien...
متن کاملImpaired pericyte recruitment and abnormal retinal angiogenesis as a result of angiopoietin-2 overexpression.
Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) is among the relevant growth factors induced by hypoxia and plays an important role in the initiation of retinal neovascularizations. Ang2 is also involved in incipient diabetic retinopathy, as it may cause pericyte loss. To investigate the impact of Ang2 on developmental and hypoxia-induced angiogenesis, we used a transgenic mouse line overexpressing human Ang2 in the mou...
متن کاملTSH-Lutropin/Chorionic Gonadotropin Receptors
We examined the relative effects of thyrotropin (TSH) and TSH receptor autoantibodies in the sera of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease on three TSH-lutropin/chorionic gonadotropin (LH/CG) receptor extracellular domain chimeras. Each chimera binds TSH with high affinity. Only the chimera with TSH receptor extracellular domains ABC (amino acids 1-260) had a functional (cAMP) response to th...
