Epigenetic control of folliculogenesis and luteinization
Folliculogenesis and luteinization are characterized by irreversible and profound physiological and morphological transformation processes, which eventually culminate in the provision of fertilizable eggs and the conversion of the estrogen producing follicle into a progesterone producing corpus luteum. All these processes are preceded by complex alterations of the gene expression profiles in th...
متن کاملOrnithine decarboxylase and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase in trypanosomatids.
The production of polyamines has been shown to be an effective target for a drug against the West African form of sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. T. brucei belongs to the group of protozoan parasites classed as trypanosomatids. Parasitic species of this group are the causative agents of various tropical diseases besides African sleeping sickness, e.g. Chagas' disease (...

متن کاملGap junctions and ovarian folliculogenesis.
Gap junctions are collections of intercellular membrane channels that allow adjacent cells to share small molecules (< 1 kDa). Gap junction channels are composed of connexins, a homologous family of more than 20 proteins. In developing follicles, gap junctions couple the growing oocyte and its surrounding follicle cells into a functional syncytium. This review summarizes evidence on the express...
متن کاملRegulation of Adrenal Ornithine Decarboxylase
were not secondary to stimulation of steroidogenesis, since hydrocortisone had no effect on adrenal ornithine decarboxylase although it did stimulate activity of the enzyme in the liver and kidney. ACTH, given subcutaneously to hypophysectomized rats, induced striking increases in adrenal cyclic AMP levels within 15-30 min with a fall towards the base line in 1 h. Increases in ornithine decarbo...
