In cattle, the oviduct is a tubular organ that connects the ovary and the uterus. The oviduct lumen stages a dynamic set of cellular and molecular interactions to fulfill the noble role of generating a new individual. Specific anatomical niches along the oviduct lumen provide the appropriate microenvironment for final sperm capacitation, oocyte capture and fertilization, and early embryo develo...

abstracthydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapewormechinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organscould be involved very rare. here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvementof oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. it was misdiagnosed as a multicysticright ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was sho...

This study was conducted in quail as a particular work for the of histopathological disorders between Sept6, 2018 Nov23, (77 days), to determine effect adding cinnamon alcohol extract diets ovulation and fertility rate ovary oviduct tissue quail, there are (3 treatments), they were divided into 12 cages, each group consists 10 males with 5 females. In first group, quails fed on standard diet wi...

Animal oviducts and human Fallopian tubes are a part of the female reproductive tract that hosts fertilization and pre-implantation development of the embryo. With an increasing understanding of roles of the oviduct at the cellular and molecular levels, current research signifies the importance of the oviduct on naturally conceived fertilization and pre-implantation embryo development. This rev...

BACKGROUND Progesterone (P4) may modulate oviductal functions to promote early embryo development in cattle. In addition to its nuclear receptor (PR), P4 may mediate its actions through P4 receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) and its relative, PGRMC2. Two successive experiments were undertaken to characterise the expression of PR, PGRMC1 and PGRMC2 in the bovine oviduct during the post-ovulat...

Twenty-three amino acids appeared linearly in oviduct fluid to reach an average concentration 27% of that in the plasma, with glycine and alanine present in greatest amount. In contrast, the concentration of urea in the fluid approached its plasma concentration after 1 h, and remained at this level for the duration of the experiment. The oviduct was unable to bring the overall uphill transport ...

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis has developed the potential to contaminate table eggs internally, by colonization of the chicken reproductive tract and internalization in the forming egg. The serotype Enteritidis has developed mechanisms to colonize the chicken oviduct more successfully than other serotypes. Until now, the strategies exploited by Salmonella Enteritidis to do so have rem...

Estrogen-induced morphologic differentiation of chick oviduct is accompanied by increases in the total endogenous mRNA activity of oviduct polysomes. Concomitant increases are also noted in ribosome translational capacity and activity of peptide chain initiation factors. Once the differentiation process nears completion (about 7 days of estrogen administration), total ribosomebound mRNA activit...

BACKGROUND Mucosal epithelia, including those of the oviduct, secrete antimicrobial innate immune molecules (AIIMS). These have bactericidal/bacteriostatic functions against a variety of pathogens. Among the AIIMs, sheep β-defensin-1 (SBD-1) is one of the most potent. Even though the SBD-1 is an important AIIM and it is regulated closely by estrogenic hormone, the regulation mechanism of 17β-es...
