Amino acid sequence elucidation of human acrosin-trypsin inhibitor (HUSI-II) reveals that Kazal-type proteinase inhibitors are structurally related to β-subunits of glycoprotein hormones [PDF]
The amino acid sequence of the acrosin-trypsin inhibitor HUSI-II from human seminal plasma is presented which unequivocally identifies HUSI-II as being of Kazal-type.

A Requirement for Fatty Acid Oxidation in the Hormone-Induced Meiotic Maturation of Mouse Oocytes [PDF]
We have previously shown that fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is required for AMP-activated protein kinase (PRKA)-induced maturation in vitro. In the present study, we have further investigated the role of this metabolic pathway in hormone-induced meiotic ...

Thyroid-Stimulating Activity and Chorionic Gonadotropin [PDF]
The nature of the substance with thyroid-stimulating activity (TSA) present in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) prepared from pregnancy urine was investigated. In the mouse thyrotropin bioassay, the characteristic maximum of blood radioactivity obtained with the TSA in hCG preparations occurred after that obtained with pituitary thyrotropin (hTSH ...

Abstract Background Freshwater salinization is an emerging stressor in amphibian populations, and embryonic stages are most vulnerable. To better understand the variation in embryonic osmoregulation, we challenged embryos of two phylogenetically diverse anuran species, Xenopus laevis and Lithobates (Rana) sylvaticus, along a gradient of non‐lethal ...

Gonadotropins in the Russian Sturgeon: Their Role in Steroid Secretion and the Effect of Hormonal Treatment on Their Secretion. [PDF]
In the reproduction process of male and female fish, pituitary derived gonadotropins (GTHs) play a key role. To be able to specifically investigate certain functions of Luteinizing (LH) and Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in Russian sturgeon ...

Adhesive and degradative properties of human placental cytotrophoblast cells in vitro. [PDF]
Human fetal development depends on the embryo rapidly gaining access to the maternal circulation. The trophoblast cells that form the fetal portion of the human placenta have solved this problem by transiently exhibiting certain tumor-like properties ...

Human amniotic fluid glycoproteins expressing sialyl Lewis carbohydrate antigens stimulate progesterone production in human trophoblasts in vitro [PDF]
Background: Progesterone is thought to mediate immune modulator effects by regulating uterine responsiveness. The aim of the study was to clarify the effect of transferrin and glycodelin A (former name PP14) as sialyl Lewis X-expressing glycoproteins on ...
