Prolactin is a strong candidate for the regulation of luteal steroidogenesis in vizcachas (Lagostomus maximus) [PDF]

, 2018
Prolactin (PRL) is essential for the maintenance of the corpora lutea and the production of progesterone (P4) during gestation of mice and rats, which makes it a key factor for their successful reproduction.

Diflubenzuron Caused Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Ca2+ Homeostasis Disruption, and Intrinsic Apoptosis in Trophoblastic Cells

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diflubenzuron is used as an insect growth inhibitor, and its potential risk to human health was raised owing to the possibility of environmental residues and human exposure. This study aimed to investigate the toxic mechanism of diflubenzuron on trophoblastic cells such as HTR8/SVneo and JEG‐3 cells. We investigated mitochondrial function, Ca2+

Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 signaling pathway is required for endometrial decidualization in mice and human. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Decidualization is a crucial change required for successful embryo implantation and the maintenance of pregnancy. During this process, endometrial stromal cells differentiate into decidual cells in response to the ovarian steroid hormones of early ...

PGF2alpha induced differential expression of genes involved in turnover of extracellular matrix in rat decidual cells [PDF]

, 2005
In the rat, the decidual tissue is an important component for maternal recognition of pregnancy. Decidualization can be induced by either the implantation of the blastocyst or by artificial stimuli. The process of decidua formation or decidualization, is

Microbial and Metabolic Correlates of Endometrial Dysfunction in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Translational Study

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exhibit a substantially increased risk of miscarriage, yet the underlying mechanisms remain inadequately understood. This study aimed to investigate whether specific gut microbial dysbiosis and metabolic disturbance are associated with and may potentially contribute to endometrial ...

Deficiency of UCHL1 results in insufficient decidualization accompanied by impaired dNK modulation and eventually miscarriage

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Miscarriage is a frustrating complication of pregnancy that is common among women of reproductive age. Insufficient decidualization which not only impairs embryo implantation but disturbs fetomaternal immune-tolerance, has been widely regarded

Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase-4 regulates endometrial decidualization through a fatty acid β-oxidation pathway rather than lipid droplet accumulation

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: Lipid metabolism plays an important role in early pregnancy, but its effects on decidualization are poorly understood. Fatty acids (FAs) must be esterified by fatty acyl-CoA synthetases to form biologically active acyl-CoA in order to enter ...

Expression of COX-1 and COX-2 in the endometrium of cyclic, pregnant and in a model of pseudopregnant rats and their regulation by sex steroids [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Cyclooxygenases (COXs) are the rate limiting enzymes in the process of prostaglandins (PGs) synthesis, which are critical regulators of a number of reproductive processes, including ovulation, implantation, decidualization and parturition ...

Gold‐standard evidence and best practice guidance for menstrual cycle‐informed clinical care: An overview for clinicians

British Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To synthesize current evidence and provide clinically actionable recommendations for integrating menstrual cycle‐related processes—particularly hormone sensitivity, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and Premenstrual Exacerbation (PME)—into psychological assessment, formulation and treatment.

Progesterone-induced progesterone receptor membrane component 1 rise-to-decline changes are essential for decidualization

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology
Background Decidualization of endometrial cells is the prerequisite for embryo implantation and subsequent placenta formation and is induced by rising progesterone levels following ovulation.
