Reproductive tissue-selective actions of progesterone receptors.
The steroid hormone, progesterone, plays a central coordinate role in diverse events associated with female reproduction. In humans and other vertebrates, the biological activity of progesterone is mediated by modulation of the transcriptional activity of two progesterone receptors, PR-A and PR-B. These receptors arise from the same gene and exhibit both overlapping and distinct transcriptional...
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 ...
متن کاملProgesterone receptors: various forms and functions in reproductive tissues.
The unequivocal role of progesterone in a variety of events like ovulation, mammary gland development, establishment and maintenance of pregnancy etc are well established. Also the data are accumulating on its role in male reproductive events. In vertebrates and humans, the biological activity of progesterone is mediated by two progesterone receptor proteins PR-A and PR-B, that arise from the s...
متن کاملPharmacological actions of a novel, potent, tissue-selective benzopyran estrogen.
We have identified a new benzopyran derivative, 3-(4-methoxy) phenyl-4-[[4-[2-(1-piperidinyl)ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-7-ol hydrochloride (CHF 4227), with improved in vivo estrogen agonist/antagonist effects. CHF 4227 binds with high affinity to the human estrogen receptor-alpha and -beta (dissociation constant K(i) = 0.017 and 0.099 nM, respectively). In immature rats, oral adminis...
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...
