The oviduct and endometrium in primates have common embryologic origins. They are both
highly sensitive to changes in circulating ovarian-derived steroid hormones, although the …

The activation function-1 (AF-1) domain of the estrogen receptor α (ERα) in stromal cells has
been shown to be required for epithelial responses to estrogen in the mouse uterus. To …

Female mice null for the basic transcription element binding protein-1 (Bteb1) gene have
reduced numbers of implanting embryos. We hypothesized that the implantation defect …

Progesterone receptors (PR) mediate multiple aspects of female reproduction and are
important targets for reagents that can modulate progesterone-dependent events. Many …

Epithelial cell integrity at mucosal surfaces provides an effective physical barrier against
potential pathogens that threaten reproductive health. We have used polarized epithelial …

The involution of the rat ventral prostate gland after castration could be caused by primary
changes in the vasculature. To explore the mechanisms, we studied the effects of castration …

In the human endometrium, stromal cells mediate the proliferative response of epithelial
cells to the steroid hormones estrogen and progesterone. These stromal-epithelial …

The xenoestrogen group of endocrine disruptors has the potential to cause reproductive and
developmental effects through stimulation or disruption of sex steroid nuclear receptor …

Much evidence has suggested that sex steroid hormone-induced growth of uterine cells is
mediated by polypeptide growth factors synthesized in uterine tissues. The present study …

Objective: To evaluate the effect of dietary soy protein and isoflavones on bone and the
reproductive tract in premenopausal rats. Design: Three-month-old intact Sprague-Dawley …
