FSH is produced by the pituitary gonadotrope to regulate gametogenesis. Steroid hormones, including androgens, progestins, and glucocorticoids, have all been shown to stimulate expression of the FSH subunit in primary pituitary cells and rodent models. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of steroid induction of FSH has been difficult due to the heterogeneity of the anterior pituitary. Immort...
Transcriptional regulation of the progesterone receptor gene involves induction by estrogens and down-regulation by progestins, retinoic acid, and AP-1 proteins. We have previously identified an intragenic (+698/+723) estrogen-responsive element present in the progesterone receptor gene, which binds the estradiol receptor and mediates estrogen and 4-OH tamoxifen induction. Progesterone receptor...
The purpose of this paper is to present reported findings of the effects of ovarian steroids on vascular tone. The medical literature was reviewed for relevant contributions. Oestrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women is associated with a reduction in mortality from coronary artery disease. Many different cellular actions have been described which help explain the cardioprotective ef...
Endometriosis is a chronic and recurrent disease characterized by the presence and proliferation of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, which occurs in approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. In this estrogen-dependent disorder, lesions become inactive and gradually undergo regression during states of ovarian down-regulation, such as amenorrhoea or menopause. The impact of en...
Although the 'selective' pathway is a major cholesteryl ester (CE) uptake pathway used by steroidogenic cells, essentially nothing is known about the itinerary of the CE once it is extracted from lipoproteins at the cell surface. In the current report we have begun to trace 'selective' pathway internalized-CE using both native and reconstituted human (h) high density lipoproteins (hHDL3) with v...
OBJECTIVE Estro-progestin treatments have been associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events in postmenopausal women. This study examined whether progestins affect the stimulatory effect of estrogens on the endothelial formation of nitric oxide (NO), a potent antithrombotic factor. METHODS AND RESULTS Experiments were performed with human endothelial cells. Endothelial NO synthas...
Women with Lynch syndrome have a 40% to 60% lifetime risk for developing endometrial cancer, a cancer associated with estrogen imbalance. The molecular basis for endometrial-specific tumorigenesis is unclear. Progestins inhibit estrogen-driven proliferation, and epidemiologic studies have shown that progestin-containing oral contraceptives (OCP) reduce the risk of endometrial cancer by 50% in w...
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disease that occurs in approximately 10% of reproductive age women. Baboons offer a clear benefit for studying the initiation and progression of endometriosis since baboon is very close to humans phylogenetically. Progestins are used in the treatment of endometriosis. The therapeutic window of progestins depends on the ratio of its affinity towards ...
A cell line of human endometrial adenocarcinoma (HEC1), established by Kuramoto et al. in 1968, was studied. The presence of estradici receptors in these cells was documented. The receptors were found to reside mainly in the nucleus, even when cells were grown in estrogenfree medium. Isolated nuclei from HEC cells could be labeled during incubations with [3H]estradiol at 0-4°.The induction of ...
Of course, from childhood to forever, we are always thought to love reading. It is not only reading the lesson book but also reading everything good is the choice of getting new inspirations. Religion, sciences, politics, social, literature, and fictions will enrich you for not only one aspect. Having more aspects to know and understand will lead you become someone more precious. Yea, becoming ...
