VGF changes during the estrous cycle: a novel endocrine role for TLQP peptides? [PDF]
Although the VGF derived peptide TLQP-21 stimulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotropin secretion, available data on VGF peptides and reproduction are limited.

The spatiotemporal expression pattern of the bone morphogenetic protein family in rat ovary cell types during the estrous cycle. [PDF]
In the mammalian ovary, great interest in the expression and function of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family has been recently generated from evidence of their critical role in determining folliculogenesis and female fertility.

Effect of mercury vapor inhalation on rat ovary: stereology and histopathology [PDF]
AimMercury, an environmental contaminant, is a risk factor for health in whole living organisms. In this study, we investigated whether mercury vapor (HgO) inhalation has an effect on rat ovary.

Mechanisms of chemotherapy-induced human ovarian aging: double strand DNA breaks and microvascular compromise [PDF]
The mechanism of chemotherapy-induced acceleration of ovarian aging is not fully understood. We used doxorubicin, a widely used cancer chemotherapeutic, in a variety of in vivo xenograft, and in vitro models to investigate the impact of chemotherapy ...

Neuromuscular organization and aminergic modulation of contractions in the Drosophila ovary [PDF]
Background: The processes by which eggs develop in the insect ovary are well characterized. Despite a large number of Drosophila mutants that cannot lay eggs, the way that the egg is moved along the reproductive tract from ovary to uterus is less well ...

Systematic assessment of HER2/neu in gynecologic neoplasms, an institutional experience. [PDF]
BackgroundHER2/neu overexpression and/or amplification has been widely studied in a number of solid tumors, primarily in the breast. In gynecologic neoplasms, determination of HER2/neu status has not been well studied as a predictive biomarker in anti ...

Comparative proteomic profiling reveals molecular characteristics associated with oogenesis and oocyte maturation during ovarian development of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) [PDF]
Time-dependent expression of proteins in ovary is important to understand oogenesis in insects. Here, we profiled the proteomes of developing ovaries from Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to obtain information about ovarian development with particular ...
