The immediate and long range challenges in this area of reproductive endocrinology are to employ in vitro molecular and in vivo experimental approaches simultaneously to elucidate the nature of these complex interactions and define the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these important regulatory events.

Serum LH concentration during the first 11 days of pregnancy was distinctly higher than during the period between days 13–19, with a conspicuous pivot—point occurring at about day 12; beginning on day 20 and continuing to term, a progressive increase occurred, which was not contiguous with the acute, post—partum, ovulation inducing surge of LH.

It is proposed that estrogen, by regulating expression and secretion of angiogenic factors such as VEGF by glandular epithelial cells of the endometrium, regulates endometrial angiogenesis.
Analysis of apoptosis and expression of bcl-2 gene family members in the human and baboon ovary
It is concluded that apoptosis occurs during, and is probably responsible for, folicular atresia in the human and baboon ovary.

Endocrine reviews
The basic mechanisms underlying regulation of steroidogenesis within the fetoplacental unit during primate pregnancy appear similar, in important ways, to those of widely used laboratory animals, such as the rat and rabbit.

Placenta
The expression of 11beta-HSD-1 in human syncytiotrophoblast would be consistent with the ability of this tissue to convert cortisone to cortisol and provide a means by which transplacental transport of cortisol could regulate the fetal pituitary adrenocortical axis in the human, as recently shown experimentally in the non-human primate baboon model.
A comparative study of serum progesterone levels in pregnancy and in various types of pseudopregnancy in the rat.

The changes in the peripheral serum levels of progesterone in the pregnant rat werecompared with those found during ordinarypseudopregnancy, the pseudopregnancy of lactation (large litter), and the…
Regulation of the primate fetal adrenal cortex.

Biology, Medicine
Endocrine reviews
In vivo investigations have shown that a multifactorial regulation of the fetal adrenal exists in utero in which PRL and perhaps other peptides as well as ACTH selectively stimulate fetal adrenAL androgen production.
