Pregnancy-Promoting Actions of HCG in Human Myometrium and Fetal Membranes

·doi:10.1016/j.placenta.2007.01.002

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) plays a major role in early human development through a series of well recognized pregnancy-promoting actions that are exerted in the first trimester, including maternal recognition of pregnancy, enhanceme…

Targeted disruption of LH receptor gene revealed the importance of uterine LH signaling

·doi:10.1016/j.mce.2004.09.011

Numerous previous studies have demonstrated that LH and hCG can directly regulate several uterine functions. We investigated in the present study, whether uterine phenotype in LH receptor knockout animals resulted also from the absence of d…

Myometrial estradiol and progesterone receptor changes in preterm and term pregnancies

·doi:10.1016/0029-7844(95)00306-c

OBJECTIVE: To determine if labor is associated with changes in myometrial estradiol (E2) and progesterone receptors. METHODS: Lower myometrial segments were obtained from women undergoing cesarean deliveries at term in labor (n = 10), term …

The expression of human chorionic gonadotropin/human luteinizing hormone receptors in ectopic human endometrial implants.

The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.75.4.1400884

Our laboratory previously demonstrated that normal human endometrium contains hCG/human LH receptors. Since ectopic endometrial implants in endometriosis arise directly at least in part from uterine endometrium, we investigated whether the …

Peritoneal fluid volume, estrogen, progesterone, prostaglandin, and epidermal growth factor concentrations in patients with and without endometriosis

Obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0020-7292(87)90045-2

Elevated prostaglandin (PG) levels in peritoneal fluid have been implicated as playing a role in infertility associated with endometriosis. This study was designed to measure peritoneal fluid levels of PG and other hormones that may influen…

Peripheral plasma levels of prostaglandin metabolites, cortisol and prolactin in women undergoing falope ring application and tubal cautery

·doi:10.1016/0262-1746(86)90098-3

The levels of 11-deoxy-13,14-dihydro-15-keto-11 beta, 16 xi-cyclo PGE2 (bicyclo PGEM), 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF 2 alpha (PGFM), cortisol and prolactin were measured by radioimmunoassays in five serial plasma samples collected from fourteen…
