- Pathway for the Movement of Water and Cryoprotectants in Bovine Oocytes and Embryos
[作者:Jin, B; Kawai, Y; Hara, T; Takeda, S; Seki, S; Nakata, Y; Matsukawa, K; Koshimoto, C; Kasai, M; Edashige, K,期刊:Biology of Reproduction, 页码:834-847 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2011年85-4]
- The permeability of cells is important for cryopreservation. Previously, we showed in mice that the permeability to water and cryoprotectants of oocytes and embryos at early cleavage stages (early embryos) is low because...
- Determination of Fsh Quantity and Bioactivity During Sex Differentiation and Oogenesis in European Sea Bass
[作者:Moles, G; Gomez, A; Carrillo, M; Rocha, A; Mylonas, CC; Zanuy, S,期刊:Biology of Reproduction, 页码:848-857 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2011年85-4]
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein hormone that plays a key role in the regulation of gonadal functions in vertebrates. The present study reports the monitoring of pituitary and plasma Fsh levels during...
- Identification of Hepsin and Protein Disulfide Isomerase A3 as Targets of Gelatinolytic Action in Rat Ovarian Granulosa Cells During the Periovulatory Period
[作者:Rosewell, K; Al-Alem, L; Li, FX; Kelty, B; Curry, TE,期刊:Biology of Reproduction, 页码:858-866 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2011年85-4]
- The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family is believed to play a role in the ovulatory process because MMP inhibitors block oocyte release. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which the MMPs affect ovulation....
- Efficient and Safe Recipient Preparation for Transplantation of Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells: Pretreating Testes with Heat Shock
[作者:Ma, WZ; An, L; Wu, ZH; Wang, XY; Guo, M; Miao, K; Ma, W; Tian, JH,期刊:Biology of Reproduction, 页码:670-677 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2011年85-4]
- Recipient preparation is of prime importance for the successful transplantation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). Busulfan destroys endogenous germs cells and is commonly used for recipient preparation. However, busul...
- Preimplantation Exposure of Mouse Embryos to Palmitic Acid Results in Fetal Growth Restriction Followed by Catch-Up Growth in the Offspring
[作者:Jungheim, ES; Louden, ED; Chi, MMY; Frolova, AI; Riley, JK; Moley, KH,期刊:Biology of Reproduction, 页码:678-683 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2011年85-4]
- Free fatty acids (FFAs) are energy substrates for many cell types, but in excess, some FFAs can accumulate in nonadipose cells, inducing apoptosis. Also known as lipotoxicity, this phenomenon may play a role in the devel...
- The Differential Effect of Atrazine on Luteinizing Hormone Release in Adrenalectomized Adult Female Wistar Rats
[作者:Foradori, CD; Hinds, LR; Quihuis, AM; Lacagnina, AF; Breckenridge, CB; Handa, RJ,期刊:Biology of Reproduction, 页码:684-689 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2011年85-4]
- High doses of atrazine (ATR), administered for 4 days, suppress luteinizing hormone (LH) release and increase adrenal hormones levels. Considering the known inhibitory effects of adrenal hormones on the hypothalamo-pitui...
