Some observations on the behaviour of hypothalamic enzymes during the time of blastocyst implantation in the rabbit.

چکیده
1. Hypothalami from pregnant and non-pregnant rabbits were homogenized in sucrose and separated into fractions by differential and density-gradient centrifugation. 2. The fractions were examined for enzymes capable of inactivating oxytocin. 3. Enzyme activity was detected in the supernatant and one particulate fraction of both pregnant and non-pregnant animals. 4. The specific activity of the enzymes increased during early pregnancy, and coincided with the time of blastocyst spacing and implantation in the uterus.

Changes in Implantation and Survival Rates and Embryo Quality After Progesteron
Purpose: Determining the effect of progesterone on the embryo quality (total cell number and diameter of blastocyst), survival and implantation rates of mouse blastocyst with or without ovarian stimulation. Materials and Methods: Female 6-10 weeks old NMRI mice were divided into four groups as follows: (a) Non-stimulated pregnant mice as control (b) Non-stimulated pregnant mice with daily inje...
متن کاملThe Effects of Progesterone on Oocyte Maturation and Embryo Development
Oocyte maturation and embryo development are controlled by intra-ovarian factors such as steroid hormones. Progesterone (P4) exists in the follicular fluid that contributes to normal mammalian ovarian function and has several critical functions during embryo development and implantation, including endometrial receptivity, embryonic survival during gestation and transformation of the endometrial...
متن کاملThe role of interleukin on uterine endometrium, placenta and embryonic
Introduction: The polypeptide cytokine interleukin-1 is found in all body tissues and plays its role in inflammatory changes. Interleukin-1 is known as alarm cytokine in defense mechanism, particularly immunological responses. The interleukin receptor is present in different tissues and in endometrial epithelium and its antagonist will be increased during preimplantation period, therefore it ...
متن کاملUltrastructural Modifications of Human Endometrium during the Window of Implantation
The endometrium is a highly dynamic tissue empowered with the capacity to undergo cyclic dramatic changes in response to ovarian steroid hormones, ultimately aiming to create a window of receptivity for blastocyst implantation. Intensive research has been performed to understand and establish morphological and molecular correlates of embryo implantation. However, it still remains a biological m...
متن کاملP-117: Gene Expression and Developmental State of Mouse Cloned Embryos after Treatment with Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor,Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA)
Background: It is known that acetylation level of the nuclear histones in cloned embryos is lower compare to normally developed embryos. Histone deacetylas inhibitors (HDACi) with improvement of acetylation level in these embryos can affect embryo quality in pre-implantation stage and expression level of different genes especially developmental genes. Materials and Methods: In this research, SA...
