In mammals, pregnancy induces a transient and extensive degeneration of uterine sympathetic innervation. We used the models unilateral oviduct ligation in oculo myometrium transplant pregnant rats to address role stretching forces and/or hormone milieu loss The fibres horn myometrial transplants were quantified on tissue sections processed by glyoxylic acid technique. normal rats, density innervation was significantly reduced at late recovery took place during post partum. empty showed no...
This study analysed the temporal association between ovarian cyst development induced by neonatal androgenisation and sympathetic innervation. Neonatal rats (postnatal Days 1 to 5) were treated with testosterone or dihydrotestosterone effects evaluated at postnatal 20, 40, 90 180. Ovulation rate, number of cystic follicles density fibres analysed. The surgical denervation gonadotrophin stimulation also assessed. Rats exposed showed no oestrous cycle activity did not ovulate, maintaining a...
Oestradiol (E(2)) is a key hormone in the regulation of reproductive processes. The aims this work were a) to examine distributions oestrogen receptor α (ERα) and ERβ neurons superior mesenteric ganglion (SMG) oestrus stage by immunohistochemistry, b) demonstrate whether E(2) SMG modifies progesterone (P(4)), androstenedione (A(2)) nitrite release ovarian compartment on day c) activity gene expression ovary steroidogenic enzymes 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) 20α-hydroxysteroid...
Sperm motility is essential to “in vivo” fertilization. antigen 6 (SPAG6) a sperm central apparatus protein required for flagellar in mammals. SPAG6 exhibits remarkable conservation of both structure and molecular composition widely divergent eukaryotic organisms. Infertility observed SPAG6-deficient males was attributed morphological defects. We have previously shown that binds microtubules transfected cell cultures. hypothesize order stabilize the flagella regulate meaning it could be...
