Nowadays, endometrial hyperplastic processes are the most common structural abnormalities of uterine mucosa among those that found in unexplained infertility. Epidemiological studies infertile marriages show causes generative dysfunction women pathological changes endometrium occur half examined patients.The state microecological parameters vaginal biotope 60 with polyps uterus (PTU) and polyp-...

Mutations in the AGAMOUS (AG) gene of Arabidopsis thaliana result in the conversion of reproductive organs, stamens and carpels, into perianth organs, sepals and petals. We have isolated and characterized the putative AG gene from Nicotiana tabacum, NAG1, whose deduced protein product shares 73% identical amino acid residues with the Arabidopsis AG gene product. RNA tissue in situ hybridization...

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as flame retardants. Due to their widespread use in many consumer products, PBDEs can be found in food as well as in the environment. Their presence has also been found in the human serum, human adipose tissue and human breast milk. Results of experimental studies suggest that the presence of PBDE in the environment is not neutral to our health. I...

The confinement of male rats in complete dankness from birth until 47 days of age resulted in severe retardation of reproductive function. The supply of light-on condition for the last one week caused a remarkable overshoot of testosterone secretion beyond the level of intact animals, associating with a significant weight increase in accessory reproductive organs. Eye-enucleation nullified thes...

Andrology is the study of male reproductive health, its associated medicines, and biology, including functions and diseases that are specific to men, especially with regard to the reproductive organs. This concise report discusses the eponyms that are encountered in andrological literature.

The activity of the nopaline synthase (nos) promoter is differentially regulated in several plant organs. In this article we demonstrate that the nos promoter is wound inducible in both vegetative and reproductive organs. The induction of the nos promoter was observed in leaves, stems, cotyledons, and various reproductive organs, suggesting that the response is not organ specific. The wound res...

In Drosophila, the gustatory receptor (Gr) gene family contains 60 family members that encode 68 proteins through alternative splicing. Some gustatory receptors (Grs) are involved in the sensing of sugars, bitter substrates, CO(2), pheromones, and light. Here, we systematically examined the expression of all 68 Grs in abdominal neurons which project to the abdominal ganglion of the central nerv...
