Synthetic epoxy-pregnan steroids: effects on anxiety behavior in rats [PDF]

, 2016
Neurosteroids like 3α-OH-5α-pregnan-20-one (allopregnanolone) and 3α-OH-5β-pregnan-20-one (pregnanolone) modulate the γ-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptor function and produce several effects that can be considered for therapeutical pruposes like ...

Carbachol increases intracellular free calcium concentrations in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]

, 1992
We investigated whether the stimulation of human granulosa-lutein cells with muscarinic and nicotinic receptor agonists can cause increases in intracellular free calcium (Ca2+), using Fura-2 microfluorimetry.

Novel progesterone receptors: neural localization and possible functions

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Progesterone (P4) regulates a wide range of neural functions and likely acts through multiple receptors. Over the past 30 years, most studies investigating neural effects of P4 focused on genomic and non-genomic actions of the classical progestin ...

Immunohistochemical studies of the uterine wall in bitches with different states of the reproductive system [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Dysfunctions of the reproductive system in bitches are a severe problem. Studies were conducted to understand the main differences in the receptor activity of immunocompetent cells in the different conditions of the reproductive system to determine the ...

The value of the expression of endometrial receptors for steroid hormones in patients with endometriosis

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2020
Aim: To elucidate the nature of the expression of progesterone receptors (PR) and estrogen receptors (ER) of the endometrium in patients with endometriosis in order to study the effect of endometriosis therapy on endometrial receptors while taking ...

Unique expression patterns of the embryonal stem cell marker SOX2 and hormone receptors suggest the existence of a subpopulation of epithelial stem/progenitor cells in porcine and bovine endometrium

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2022
Background There are currently insufficient data on the population of endometrial epithelial stem/progenitor cells in farm animals. Objectives With the aim of identifying a potential population of epithelial stem/progenitor cells in the porcine and ...

17,β-estradiol inhibits hepatitis C virus mainly by interference with the release phase of its life cycle [PDF]

, 2016
Rationale & Aim: Estrogen and estrogen-mediated signalling protect from hepatitis C virus through incompletely understood mechanisms. We aimed to ascertain which phase(s) of HCV life cycle is/are affected by estrogens.

Reproductive functions of the progesterone receptor

Journal of the Society for Gynecologic Investigation, 2000
The steroid hormone progesterone plays a central role in the reproductive events associated with pregnancy establishment and maintenance. Physiological effects of progesterone are mediated by interaction of the hormone with specific intracellular progesterone receptors (PRs) that are expressed as two protein isoforms, PR-A and PR-B. Both proteins arise

Endometriosis and nuclear receptors.

Human Reproduction Update, 2019
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is recognized as a steroid-dependent disorder; however, the precise roles of nuclear receptors (NRs) in steroid responsiveness and other signaling pathways are not well understood.

Estrogen Receptor, Progesterone Receptor, and HER2 Receptor Markers in Endometrial Cancer

Journal of Cancer, 2020
Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a major gynecologic adenocarcinoma that arises from the endometrium. While the incidence of EC is on the rise worldwide, survivorship and clinical advancement have considerably lagged compared to other cancers ...
