MUCOLYTIC ENZYME SYSTEMS. VIII. INHIBITION OF HYALURONIDASE BY HUMAN BLOOD SERUM DURING THE NORMAL MENSTRUAL CYCLE AND PREGNANCY 1

Mucolytic enzyme systems; inhibition of hyaluronidase by human blood serum during the normal menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

Mucolytic enzyme systems. X. Serum hyaluronidase inhibitor in liver disease.

The hyaluronidase inhibiting property of blood serum has been found to be increased in such diverse clinical states as infectious diseases of bacterial and viral origin (1-4), neoplastic disease (5, 6), and the postpartum state in women (7) as well as in several of the so-called "collagen diseases" of unknown etiology, notably rheumatic fever (8, 9), disseminated lupus erythematosis (2) and der...

Changes in blood pressure during the normal menstrual cycle.

1. Changes in blood pressure during the normal menstrual cycle are not well documented, and previous studies have given conflicting results. 2. Thirty normotensive women and ten mildly hypertensive women measured their blood pressure at home each morning for 6 weeks, under standardized conditions, using a UA-751 semi-automatic sphygmomanometer. All had normal menstrual cycles and subjects enter...

Localization of fibrillin-1 in human endometrium and decidua during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

We have examined the existence and distribution of fibrillin-1 within the endometrium and decidua to ascertain the effect of decidualization upon its synthesis, and its relationship to other extracellular matrix proteins. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues were stained using monoclonal antibodies to collagen IV, elastin, fibrillin-1 and laminin, by immunocytochemistry. Fibrillin-1 was pr...

expression patterns of vegf and flk-1 in human endometrium during the menstrual cycle

background: the vegf is essential in the process of tissue remodeling and angiogenesis. limited data is available on the expression and regulation of vegf and its receptors in the human endometrium. the aim of this study was evaluation of expression patterns of vegf and flk-1 in human endometrium during the menstrual cycle. methods: sixty paraffin-embedded blocks of endometrial tissues from the...
