Modulation of placental vascular endothelial growth factor by leptin and hCG.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been identified as an endothelium-specific mitogen and inducer of angiogenesis and endothelial cell survival. Leptin and hCG have also been suggested as possible regulators of angiogenesis in various models. In-vivo and in-vitro assays revealed that leptin has an angiogenic activity and that the vascular endothelium is a target for leptin. Thus, we ...
متن کاملEffects of interleukin-6 (IL-6) on cytotrophoblastic cells.
Tumour invasion and trophoblastic invasion share the same biochemical mediators: the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and their inhibitors. In contrast to tumour invasion of a host tissue, trophoblastic invasion during implantation and placentation is stringently controlled both in tissue localization and developmental stage. The factors responsible for these important regulatory processes are u...
متن کاملContrasting effects of prolactin on luteal and follicular steroidogenesis.
To determine whether prolactin affects both luteal and follicular production of testosterone and oestradiol, pseudopregnant rats, either intact or hypophysectomized on day 8, were injected daily between days 8 and 9 with 1.5 i.u. human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), 250 micrograms prolactin or a combination of both. Control rats were given vehicle. On day 9, blood was obtained from the ovarian ...
متن کاملModulation of in vitro proliferation and cytokine secretion of human lymphocytes by Mentha longifolia extracts
Objective: Mentha longifolia L. Hudson has been used in folk medicine for various purposes especially for its anti-inflammatory effects. Lymphocytes play a central role in development of inflammation. In the present study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects of different extracts of M. longifolia on human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs), as main players in development of inflammati...
متن کاملIn vitro effects of luteinizing hormone, progesterone and oestradiol-17β on leptin gene expression and leptin secretion by porcine luteal cells obtained in early pregnancy.
Leptin, the product of the ob gene, is involved in the control of ovarian functions. Leptin transcripts and OB proteins were localized in the porcine corpus luteum, but the regulatory mechanism of leptin mRNA expression and leptin secretion in porcine luteal cells remains unexplained. The aim of the present study was to: 1) determine level of leptin and long form of leptin receptor (OB-Rb) tran...
