The expression of apelin system has been shown in the adult testis of rat and mice. It has
also been emphasized that regulation of testicular activity in early stages is important to …

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a metabolic disorder with severe hyperglycemia, one of
the complications of which is testicular dysfunctions, androgen deficiency and decreased …

Postnatal ovarian and uterine development is crucial to accomplished female fertility. Thus,
the investigations of factors that present in pre‐pubertal stages are important as it might be …

The expression of apelin and its receptor (APJ) has been shown in the hypothalamus-
pituitary-testicular axis. It has also been suggested apelin and APJ are neuropeptide factors …

Apelin, a member of the adipokine family, is a novel endogenous peptide which regulates
the male reproductive system of mammals by interacting with a specific receptor. Recent …

Apelin was thought to be an adipocyte-specific hormone, but recent studies indicate a link
between apelin and female reproductive function. Using real-time PCR, immunoblotting …

Apelin has been isolated from the bovine stomach extracts as an endogenous ligand of the
previously orphan receptor APJ. Expression of the apelinergic system (apelin and APJ) was …

The expression of adipokines is well-known in the ovary and uterus. Recently we have
shown that apelin and its receptor, APJ are developmentally regulated in the ovary and …

Apelin (APLN) is a recently discovered adipokine involved in the regulation of various
metabolic functions. Its receptor, APLNR, is expressed in reproductive tissues, however, its …

We analyzed the tissue distribution of apelin mRNA in rats by a quantitative reverse
transcription-polymerase chain reaction and that of immunoreactive apelin (ir-apelin) by an …
