background: acceptance of uterus and reaction between endometrium and embryo has an important role for implantation. muc1 an integral membrane mucin is expressed on the apical surface of uterine epithelial cells and could have effects on its receptivity. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in muc1 expression of gravid mouse endometrium with and without hyperstimulation ...

background: the preparation of endometrium for embryo reception is dependent on the ovarian hormones, which are affected by ovarian hyperstimulation procedure. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in morphometrical indices of endometrium by the daily injection of progesterone after mouse ovarian induction. materials and methods: adult virgin female mice were selected and...

objective(s): progestrone is a prequisite for pre-implantation angiogenesis and induce decidual angiogenesis. it is unknown the effect of progestrone administration on the endometrium of hyperstimulated mice at pre-implantation time. material and methods: adult female nmri mice were divided in three groups [control group, ovarian stimulated group and progestrone treated mice after ovarian stimu...

Objective(s): Progestrone is a prequisite for pre-implantation angiogenesis and induce decidual angiogenesis. It is unknown the effect of progestrone administration on the endometrium of hyperstimulated mice at pre-implantation time. Material and Methods: Adult female NMRI mice were divided in three groups [control group, ovarian stimulated group and progestrone treated mice after ovarian stimu...

CONTEXT Controlled ovarian stimulation induces morphological, biochemical, and functional genomic modifications of the human endometrium during the window of implantation. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare the gene expression profile of the human endometrium in natural vs. controlled ovarian stimulation cycles throughout the early-mid secretory transition using microarray technology. M...

Mammalian uteri are unreceptive to blastocyst implantation except during a relatively brief period. The transmembrane, cell surface mucin, Muc1, is present on epithelial cells of nonreceptive uteri in various species and has been demonstrated to have antiadhesive properties. These activities of Muc1 may prevent interaction of the embryonic trophoblast cells with the uterine epithelium. A previo...

BACKGROUND Hydrosalpinx are associated with infertility, due to reduced rates of implantation and increased abortion rates. The aims of this study were to investigate the expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), nuclear factor kappa B (NF KappaB) and mucin-1 (MUC-1), and analyze the correlation between the expression of CFTR and NF KappaB or MUC1, in the endomet...

background: apoptosis is a process that plays an important role during early stage of implantation. the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of apoptosis in mice endometrium after ovarian stimulation at implantation period. methods: nmri female mice were divided into two groups: 1) control group, which were rendered pseudopregnant by vaginal stimulation and 2) experimental group, ...
