NFκB and AP-1 Drive Human Myometrial IL8 Expression
The uterine expression of the chemokine IL8 increases dramatically with the onset of labour both at term and preterm. The IL8 promoter contains binding sites for the transcription factors nuclear factor-kappa B (NFκB), activator protein-1 (AP-1), and ...

Individual Variation in Parturition Timing within and among Years for a Bat Maternity Colony
Background: In monoestrous species, the timing of reproduction can have important impacts on offspring survival. For heterotherms in temperate areas, parturition timing is constrained by cold weather survival strategies, such as hibernation and torpor ...

PERIPARTURIENT CHANGES IN THE RELEVANT BLOOD CONSTITUENTS AND MAMMARY GLAND FUNCTION IN MULTIPAROUS RAHMANI X FINN EWES CROSSBREDS [PDF]
A total of seventeen (17) late pregnant multiparous Finn x Rahmani ewes crossbreds (8 ewes 1/2 Finn x 1/2 Rahmani (GI) and 9 ewes 1/4 Finn x 3/4 Rahmani (GII)) were used to study the changes in some constituents of blood and mammary gland secretions ...

Identification of a Feed-Forward Loop Between 15(S)-HETE and PGE2 in Human Amnion at Parturition
Human parturition is associated with massive arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization in the amnion, indicating that large amounts of AA-derived eicosanoids are required for parturition. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesized from the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway

B- ENDORPHIN LEVELS BEFORE MATING, DURING PREGNANCY, PREPARTURITION AND POSTPARTURITION IN GOATS [PDF]
B-endorphin level was estimated in serum of goats before mating, during different months of gestation, the day before parturition, the day after parturition as well as a week after parturition using radioimmunoassay technique.
