The volume of oviductal fluid fluctuates during the estrous cycle, suggesting that water
availability is under hormonal control. It has been postulated that sex-steroid hormones may …

During early pregnancy in the rat there is a dramatic reduction in luminal fluid which is
associated with uterine receptivity for blastocyst implantation. This study investigates the …

Estrogen stimulates water imbibition in the uterine endometrium. This water then crosses the
epithelial cells into the lumen, leading to a decrease in viscosity of uterine luminal fluid. To …

Fluid movement across epithelia lining portions of the male reproductive tract is important for
modulating the luminal environment in which sperm mature and reside, and for increasing …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channel proteins responsible for water homeostasis and
important for proper functioning of all body systems, including reproductive structures. This …

The periimplantation period is marked by edematous changes in the uterus. In the mouse,
increased uterine vascular permeability occurs in response to estrogen and certain …

Thirteen mammalian aquaporin (AQPs) isoforms with a unique tissue-specific pattern of
expression have been identified. To date, 11 isoforms of AQP have been reported to be …

The aim of the present study was to examine the expression of aquaporin-2 (AQP2), a
member of the water channel family aquaporins (AQPs), in human uterine endometrium and …

Abstract Background Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of membrane channel proteins that
facilitate bulk water transport. To date, 11 isoforms of AQPs have been reported to be …

Testosterone has been reported to cause a decrease in uterine fluid volume in which this
could involve the aquaporins (AQPs). This study aimed to investigate effect of testosterone …
