چکیده

Two experiments were conducted to study the role of estradiol and progesterone in regulating steroid binding sites in sheep uterine myometrium. Exogenous estradiol increased the concentration of estradiol binding sites in nuclei and subsequently increased the total cell content of estradiol binding sites. Estradiol increased the number of progestogen binding sites (promegestone binding) and may have enhanced the translocation of progestogen binding sites to nuclei. Progesterone decreased the number of progestogen binding sites and blocked estradiol-induced increase in cytoplasmic estradiol binding sites. Progesterone did not block the estradiol-induced increase in estradiol binding sites in nuclei. Estradiol increases myometrial RNA to DNA ratios with in 24 hr of a single injection, whereas progesterone did not. Progesterone blocked the estradiol-induced increase in RNA:DNA. Estradiol apparently promotes the synthesis of both types of binding site. Progesterone, on the other hand, appears to inhibit estrogen-induced synthesis of steroid binding sites by blocking estradiol action at the nucleus. Progesterone may also decrease the number of progestogen binding site through a mechanism other than its "anti-estrogenic" action.

The hormonal milieu in primary breast cancer: A correlation between steroid receptors and serum estradiol, progesterone and prolactin

Background: The female breast is subjected to a lifetime of hormonal controls, whose effect is evident at the time of menarche and during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and lactation. Studies have reported multiple risk factors for breast cancer, some of which are a reflection of hormonally mediated events. The steroid receptors are also served as prognostic factors for evaluating status of mal...

Effect of Ovarian Induction Using PMSG and HCG hormones on Uterus Dendritic Cells Population in NMRI mice

Introduction: Ovarian hyper-stimulation is widely used in IVF clinics. The main purpose of this method is to stimulate folliculogenesis and increase the number of oocytes in one cycle. Following ovarian hyper-stimulation, hormonal secretion of the ovary, particularly estradiol and progesterone dramatically increases. Immune cells especially dendritic cells have receptors for the estradiol...

Effect of feed treatment and exogenous estrogen and progestogen on puberty and lambing rates in ewe lambs.

Four hundred seventy-four ewe lambs (5 to 6 mo of age) were assigned within breed to two postweaning feed treatments; 1 = alfalfa pellets ad libitum and 2 = alfalfa pellets plus 20% barley or wheat ad libitum. Ten days prior to the start of breeding, approximately one-half of the ewe lambs within each feed treatment were treated with a single injection of 2.5 mg of estradiol valerate and 1.5 mg...

Background and Objective: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury repeatedly occurs in situations such as surgery, hemorrhage, burns, trauma, and infection. It has also been found that females were more resistant than males, indicating that female sex hormones have a protective function. The aim of this study was to determine the role of estrogen, progesterone, and their combination in protecting the...

Gap junction modulation in rat uterus. III. Structure-activity relationships of estrogen receptor-binding ligands on myometrial and serosal cells.

A number of steroidal and nonsteroidal estrogen receptor-binding ligands were tested for their ability to affect the formation and internalization of gap junctions in hypophysectomized rat uterine myometrial and serosal cells. Potent estrogen, including diethylstilbestrol, estradiol benzoate (EB), estradiol-17 beta, and the weak estrogens, estriol and estrone, stimulate formation of macular and...
