Progesterone receptors on human spermatozoa.
Progesterone, primarily recognized as a female steroid hormone, is reported to affect several sperm functions especially capacitation, motility and acrosome reaction. These effects of progesterone on the spermatozoa are mediated via the progesterone binding sites/progesterone receptor (PR) on the acrosomal membrane. These receptors in response to progesterone increase the intercellular Ca2+ lev...
متن کاملExpression of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), occurs mostly in women and sex hormones may play a role in the pathogenesis and clinical course. The objective of this study was to determine the status and prevalence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in PTC with regard to age, gender, tumor size and lymph node involvement. Methods: Immunohistochemical stains were performed on 92 tissue bl...
متن کاملExpression of estrogen and progesterone receptors in the human endocervix
Objective: To determine the messenger RNA and protein expression, as well as distribution of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) in the endocervix compared with the endometrium. Setting: Volunteers in an academic research environment Materials and methods: Twelve volunteer patients undergoing total hysterectomy for benign indications. Patients did not receive any hormonal or...
متن کاملCharacterization of progesterone receptors and metabolism of progesterone in the normal and cancerous human mammary gland.
The molecular interaction of progesterone was investigated in 18 cancerous and 12 normal human mammary gland tissues. The time course analysis of progesterone localization showed that it was initially concentrated in the cytosol and subsequently transferred to the nucleus. In the cancerous tissue the nuclear fraction had signifi~ntly higher amount of the steroid than in the eytosol fraction whi...
متن کاملReproductive functions of progesterone receptors.
The steroid hormone progesterone plays a central role in the reproductive events associated with pregnancy establishment and maintenance. Physiological effects of progesterone are mediated by interaction of the hormone with specific intracellular progesterone receptors (PRs) that are expressed as two protein isoforms, PR-A and PR-B. Both proteins arise from the same gene and are members of the ...
