Effects of sexual steroid hormones treatment on Ca2+ sensitivity of chemically skinned uterine muscle fibers from ovariectomized rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We considered the possible relationship between the serum levels of progesterone and estradiol-17 beta, which were controlled to that of several stages in normal pregnant rats, and the Ca2+ sensitivity, defined as the pCa required for half maximum activation of force production, of chemically skinned uterine muscle fibers from ovariectomized rats. The Ca2+ sensitivity was negligibly influenced by the levels of these hormones.

Sandifish (Holothuria scabra) ameliorates aging in menopausal women by increasing estradiol hormones
Introduction: Sandfish (Holothuria scabra) is a marine species generally sold as a raw material that has been dried even though the meat contains steroid hormone with high economic value, which has the potential to become a source of safe natural steroid hormone. This study was aimed to look at the potency of sandfish as an anti-aging for menopausal women. Sandfish could become a source of natu...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Ca2+- and Mg2+-induced tension development in chemically skinned smooth muscle fibers
Chemically skinned fibers from guinea pig taenia caecum were prepared by saponin treatment to study the smooth muscle contractile system in a state as close to the living state as posible. The skinned fibers showed tension development with an increase of Ca2+ in the solution, the threshold tension occurring as 5 X 10(-7) M Ca2+. The maximal tension induced with 10(-4) M Ca2+ was as large and ra...
متن کاملAcute and chronic estrogen supplementation decreases uterine sympathetic innervation in ovariectomized adult virgin rats.
Uterine innervation undergoes substantial reorganization associated with changes in reproductive status. Nerves innervating the uterus are decreased in pregnancy and puberty, and even the normal rodent estrous cycle is characterized by fluctuations in numbers of myometrial nerve fibers. During the follicular (proestrus/estrous) phase of the estrous cycle, intact nerves are rapidly depleted and ...
متن کاملElevated growth hormone increases the Ca2+ sensitivity of slow- and fast-twitch skeletal muscle of female rats.
To determine the effect of plasma growth hormone (GH) on skeletal muscle function, we measured the free Ca2+concentration-tension relationship of slow-twitch (soleus) and fast-twitch (peroneus longus) muscles isolated from rats undergoing acromegaly in response to implanted, GH-secreting tumors. Muscles from adult (9 mo) and aged rats (24 mo) were studied after the tumor-bearing rats weighed ov...

Aortic smooth muscle isolated from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive, age-matched Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) was precontracted by potassium chloride. The relaxant effect of nifedipine (NIF) was much more pronounced in SHR than in WKY, while the relaxation produced by nitroglycerin (NTG) was similar in both tissues. EC50s were (in - log [M]) NIF:SHR 13.1 +/- 0.4 and WKY 9.4 +/-...
