Progesterone-induced Maturation and Down Regulation of Membrane Bound
Progesterone induces maturation by releasing oocyte from G2 of MI cell cycle arrest. This process is rate limiting as it produces fertilizable eggs. Therefore, it draws a lot of attention. Na+, K+-ATPase is a membrane bound enzyme molecule that has known to have various functions. One of these functions is to act as receptor for Progesterone. In oocyte maturation to egg entirely depends on prog...
متن کاملExpression of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), occurs mostly in women and sex hormones may play a role in the pathogenesis and clinical course. The objective of this study was to determine the status and prevalence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in PTC with regard to age, gender, tumor size and lymph node involvement. Methods: Immunohistochemical stains were performed on 92 tissue bl...
متن کاملProgesterone increases nitric oxide synthesis in human vascular endothelial cells through activation of membrane progesterone receptor-α.
Progesterone exerts beneficial effects on the human cardiovascular system by inducing rapid increases in nitric oxide (NO) production in vascular endothelial cells, but the receptors mediating these nongenomic progesterone actions remain unclear. Using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) as a model, we show that progesterone binds to plasma membranes of HUVECs with the characteristi...
متن کاملProgesterone and progesterone receptors in experimental breast cancer.
in ER-positive tumors would indicate that the tumor is capa ble of synthesizing at least 1 end product under estrogen regulation and may therefore be endocrine responsive (8). Although the hypothesis assumes that PGR levels in breast tumors, like those in the uterus, are under estrogen control, this priming effect has never been demonstrated. In this paper we show that PGR in the DMBA-induced m...
متن کاملActivation of Enteroendocrine Membrane Progesterone Receptors Promotes Incretin Secretion and Improves Glucose Tolerance in Mice
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion is classically regulated by ingested nutrients. To identify novel molecular targets controlling incretin secretion, we analyzed enteroendocrine cell pathways important for hormone biosynthesis and secretion. We demonstrate that progesterone increases GLP-1 secretion and extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation in enteroendocrine ...
