Redistribution of aquaporins 1 and 5 in the rat uterus is dependent on progesterone: a study with light and electron microscopy.
During early pregnancy in the rat there is a dramatic reduction in luminal fluid which is associated with uterine receptivity for blastocyst implantation. This study investigates the presence and… Expand

Redistribution of aquaporins in uterine epithelial cells at the time of implantation in the rat.
The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of aquaporins 1, 4 and 5 in uterine epithelial cells during the early stages of pregnancy in the rat. Immunofluorescent and immunogold techniques… Expand

CALCIUM TRANSPORT ACROSS THE UTERINE EPITHELIUM OF PREGNANT LIZARDS
ABSTRACT Calcium is a major requirement for developing embryos, but an insufficient amount is present in egg-yolk to sustain embryonic development in most reptiles. Consequently, the eggshell acts as… Expand

Human growth hormone and interleukin-6 are upregulated in endometriosis and endometrioid adenocarcinoma.
In this retrospective and quantitated study on banked tissue we found that, compared to normal uterine epithelial cells, growth hormone (GH) is increased 3.4-fold in endometriosis and 3.8-fold in… Expand

Estrogen Protects Lenses against Cataract Induced by Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGFβ)
Cataract, already a major cause of visual impairment and blindness, is likely to become an increasing problem as the world population ages. In a previous study, we showed that transforming growth… Expand
