Ciliary function and motor protein composition of human fallopian tubes.
STUDY QUESTION What is the motor protein composition and function of human fallopian tube (FT) cilia? SUMMARY ANSWER Although the motor protein composition and function of human FT cilia resemble that of respiratory cilia, females with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) are not necessarily infertile. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY FTs are lined with multiple motile cilia, which show a 9 + 2 ultrastruc...
متن کاملLaser scattering instrument for real time in-vivo measurement of ciliary activity in human fallopian tubes.
Based on a laser light scattering technique and fibre optic probe, we have developed and tested a simple and practical device for real time measurements of ciliary activity in human Fallopian tubes during laparoscopy and laparotomy. A further aim was to investigate the relationship between the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and the morphology of the ciliary epithelium. The mean +/- SE of CBF in t...
متن کاملExpression of calbindin-D28k in human fallopian tubes.
The present study was aimed at investigating the expression of calbindin-D28k (CaBP-D28k) in human fallopian tube, which were collected from 33 childbearing age women undergoing abdominal hysterectomy with adnexectomy for benign disease in the pelvic cavity. These women had normal menstrual cycle and history of normal pregnancy. Isthmus, ampullary and umbrella segments of fallopian tubes were r...
متن کاملIn vitro assessment of some sperm function following exposure to levonorgestrel in human fallopian tubes
BACKGROUND The mechanism of action of levonorgestrel (LNG) as emergency contraception (EC) remains a subject of debate and its effect on sperm function has been only partially explained. The aim of this study was to assess whether LNG at a similar dose to those found in serum following oral intake for EC could affect spermatozoa when exposed to human fallopian tubes in vitro. METHODS Fifteen ...
متن کاملMethotrexate and Fallopian Tubes in Ectopic Pregnancy
The condition of ectopic pregnancy is presented from different points of view, bringing out physiological explanations for its occurrence in primates and the striking absence in other mammals. Ectopic pregnancies have been described in several animal species such as cats, sheep, cows, horses, gerenuks, pigs, hamsters, rats, rabbits, marmosets, baboons, squirrel monkeys, owl monkeys and rhesus m...
