Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is a molecular water channel protein responsible for reabsorption by the kidney collecting ducts. Many balance disorders are associated with defects in AQP2 gene expression regulated peptide hormone vasopressin. Here, we studied roles of Elf3 (E26 transformation-specific (Ets)-related transcription factor 3) duct cells (mpkCCD). Vasopressin increased mRNA and levels without affecting degradation, indicative transcriptional regulation. knockdown overexpression,...
The needles of ponderosa pine (Pinus Laws.) were reported to induce abortions when fed late-term pregnant beef cows in North America. An vivo study suggested that isocupressic acid (IA) was the main abortifacient isolated from and bark pine. However, mechanism activity IA is not clear yet. In a cow, corpus luteum ovary helps maintenance pregnancy by its progesterone production. This involved extracted root Taiwan cypress (Juniperus formosana) used frozen-thawed bovine luteal cell culture...
