Maternal Inhibin A and Activin A Levels as Markers of a Viable Trophoblast in Incomplete and Complete Miscarriage

Medical Journal of Babylon
Background: From early gestation the human trophoblast secretes large amounts of inhibin A and activin A, and their measurement provides a value for predicting the outcome in women who become pregnant after assisted reproductive techniques.

Functional Analysis of Mature Activin A Produced by Enterokinase in Plant Cells

Rice
Molecular farming for producing biopharmaceuticals in plants is considered an excellent method to replace some of the production methods currently used, and a significant number of recombinant proteins have already shown the potential to facilitate this.

Acute Modulation of Synaptic Plasticity of Pyramidal Neurons by Activin in Adult Hippocampus

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
Activin A is known as a neuroprotective factor produced upon acute excitotoxic injury of the hippocampus (in pathological states). We attempt to reveal the role of activin as a neuromodulator in the adult male hippocampus under physiological conditions ...

Elevated serum Activin A in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with skeletal muscle wasting

Clinics
OBJECTIVE: Muscle wasting contributes to the reduced quality of life and increased mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Muscle atrophy in mice with cachexia was caused by Activin A binding to ActRIIB. The role of circulating Activin

Activins in adipogenesis and obesity [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity, 2012
Activins are secreted proteins members of the transforming growth factor-β family. They are involved in many biological responses including regulation of apoptosis, proliferation and differentiation of different cell types. Activins A, B and AB are highly expressed in adipose tissue, and in this review we will illustrate that activins have a role in ...

Activin A is deeply involved in the progression of sarcopenia and leads to poor prognosis in lung cancer patients

Scientific Reports
Patients with lung cancer frequently develop sarcopenia, which severely affects quality of life. The underlying mechanisms of lung cancer sarcopenia need to be clarified because sarcopenia is strongly correlated with poor prognosis.

Activin Actions in Adipocytes

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism
Abstract Obesity is a growing global health problem characterized by excess fat accumulation. Though causes of obesity are multifactorial, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists have emerged as effective weight loss drugs. Nevertheless, these agents are expensive, not uniformly available, and must be used continuously.
