Lipid metabolism in regressing rat corpora lutea of pregnancy.
Lipid accumulation is a hallmark of corpus luteum regression and we characterized lipids stored in rat corpora lutea of pregnancy between days 21 and 24 post coitum, the period of luteolysis. A 10-fold rise in lutein triglyceride concentrations occurred between days 21 and 24, which represented the major alteration in luteal lipid metabolism during luteolysis, coinciding with the appearance of ...
متن کاملHuman seminal plasma allergy and successful pregnancy.
Human seminal plasma allergy in women is an uncommon phenomenon. A great variety of reactions ranging from local swelling to generalized systemic reactions have been described, and local symptoms have often been misdiagnosed as chronic vulvovaginitis. Sperm barriers, such as condoms, are the most widely advocated method for avoiding these reactions; however this is not acceptable to couples who...
متن کاملEndothelin-converting enzyme-1 is expressed on human ovarian follicles and corpora lutea of menstrual cycle and early pregnancy.
We have previously reported that membrane-bound amino- and carboxypeptidases were expressed on the human follicles and corpora lutea (CL), and we proposed that these peptidases are involved in ovarian functions, probably by regulating the extracellular peptide concentrations. In this study, we examined the expression of endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1) on human follicles and CL, which is ...
متن کاملEffects of corpora lutea removal and replacement with progesterone on pregnancy in goats.
p ROGESTERONE is predominantly a hormone of pregnancy and is required for (a) the growth and secretion of the glands in the uterine mucosa preparatory to implantation of the ovum (b) the nutrition and protection of the embryo during the time when it is lying free in the uterus (c) the development of the placenta and membranes after implantation (d) lobule-alveolar mammary growth (e) maintenance...
متن کاملNitric oxide synthase acutely regulates progesterone production by in vitro cultured rabbit corpora lutea.
We examined the presence and the regulation of nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) using in vitro cultured corpora lutea (CL) obtained from rabbits at days 4 and 9 of pseudopregnancy. The role of NO and NOS on steroidogenesis was also investigated using the same CL preparations after short-term incubations (30 min and 2 h) with the NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (NP), the NOS inhibitor, Nomega-nit...
