“…Multiple protein kinases are regulated in association with growth, proliferation and differentiation of cells (Gaballah et al, 1971;Lee et al, 1975;Doskeland et al, 1975;Costa et al,1976;Skala and Knight, 1977;Lohmann et al, 1978;Miyamoto et al, 1980). We have previously shown that both activities of types I and II cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases in the endometrium are altered by the administration of hormones including estrogen, progesterone and chorionic gonadotropin (Miyazaki et al, 1980a;Miyazaki et al, 1981) and during the menstrual cycle (Miyazaki et al, 1980b).…”
