gene expression profiling of ovarian carcinoma tissues has shown an increase of four-fold expression of sort1 gene. sortilin 1 (ntr-3) is a 95-100 kda protein normally expressed in heart, brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, thyroid, and testis. however, its expression has never been reported in normal ovary. here, we report expression of sortilin 1 in ovarian carcinoma tissues both a...

objective: to evaluate the importance of cytokine type in embryo implantation in uterus specified and activated macrophages interfere the tube movements and embryo retention in uterine tubes by smooth muscle relaxation and disrupting ciliary function. therefore, increased risk of infection with hp during pregnancy, we investigated relation between helicobacter pylori (hp) infection and prevalen...
