O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic modulator of signaling pathways, equal in magnitude to the widely studied phosphorylation. With rapid development tools for its detection at single protein level, O-GlcNAc modification rapidly emerged as novel diagnostic and therapeutic target human diseases. Yet, mapping O-GlcNAcome various tissues essential generating relevant biomarkers. In this study, we used banked tissue sample source identify O-GlcNAcylated targets Using term placentas, propose (1) method...

The inability of the fetal and immature Leydig cell to be desensitized by gonadotropin treatment, a characteristic adult cell, is attributed absence an estrogen-mediated regulation androgen pathway. Cultures rat cells were employed analyze this differential response. revealed low aromatization capacity, undetectable estradiol production, level estrogen receptors, minimally detectable estradiol-regulated protein. However, exogenous caused up-regulation its own receptor, increase protein,...

The receptors and actions of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) were analyzed in cultured testicular cells from 20.5-day fetal rats, which treatment with luteinizing (LH) maintained Leydig cell steroidogenesis gonadotropic responses for up to 2 weeks. Testicular GnRH present on the 5th postnatal day, but not demonstrable testes or 2-day cultures thereof. However, readily detectable 4-day increased by exposure agonists. In LH-treated cultures, sites reduced about 50% did increase during...
