Growth of the endometrium and cotyledons during pregnancy in the ewe: rates of protein secretion and synthesis and nuclear and cytosol steroid hormone receptor levels
Abstract:The time-course of cell hypertrophy and changes in in-vitro rates of secretion and synthesis of protein in intercaruncular and caruncular endometrium and maternal and fetal cotyledonary placenta have been examined during days 0-112 of pregnancy in the ewe. The concentrations of high-affinity receptors for oestradiol and progesterone in nuclear and cytosol fractions from these tissues were also determined. Protein secretion by intercaruncular endometrium increased 25-fold between days 0 and 84. On day 84 10(-5)… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
