Background:? Pregnancy-induced utero-placental growth, angiogenic remodeling, and enhanced vasodilation are all partly regulated by estradiol-17?-mediated activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) production. However, very little is known about the effects of alcohol on these maternal utero-placental vascular adaptations during pregnancy and ...

Pregnancy-induced changes in uterine artery function play a critical role in ensuring adequate placental perfusion. Responses of these vessels to pressure (myogenic responsiveness) may contribute to this. The overall myogenic properties of uterine arteries may depend upon the integration of a number of different factors, including ...

A randomised controlled study of the clinical value of single insertion of vaginal tablets of prostagladin E2 (PGE2) containing 3mg of dinoprostin for induction of labour in patients with Low Bishop Scores (B/S less than 5) was carried out on 20 singleton pregnant Nigerian women, of different parity. (Primiparae n = 10 Multiparae n = 10). The control were 10 singleton pregnant women (Primiparae 3; ...

Interferon tau (IFNT), the pregnancy recognition signal in ruminants, abrogates the uterine luteolytic mechanism to assure maintenance of function for corpora lutea to produce progesterone (P4). IFNT also suppresses expression of classical interferon stimulated genes by uterine luminal (LE) and superficial glandular (sGE) epithelia, ...

BackgroundProprotein convertase 5/6 (PC5/6) is critical for embryo implantation in women, regulating both uterine epithelial receptivity and stromal cell decidualization. PC5/6 is likewise essential for implantation in mice, but involved only in decidualization. An alternative animal model is required to address the function of PC5/6 in the uterine ...

The effectiveness of beta2-agonists in preterm delivery is reduced by several factors. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of late pregnancy in the uterus-relaxing effect of terbutaline in the rat in vitro. Rat uterine tissues from late pregnancy (days 15, 18, 20 and 22) were used. In vitro electrical field-stimulation (EFS) was used to evoke contractions. The ...

The objective of the present study was to investigate whether increased beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta HCG) plasma concentrations in an unselected population of nulliparas could predict the occurrence of complicated pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). The design was that of a prospective population study. It was conducted at the obstetric departments of Amiens ...

The inability of the uterine epithelium to enter a state of receptivity for the embryo to implant is a significant underlying cause of early pregnancy loss. We previously showed that mice null for the progesterone receptor (PGR)-interacting protein Kr�ppel-like factor (KLF) 9 are subfertile and exhibit reduced uterine progesterone sensitivity. KLF9 ...
