There are seven relaxin family peptides that are all structurally related to insulin. Relaxin has
many roles in female and male reproduction, as a neuropeptide in the central nervous …

The insulin-related peptide hormone relaxin (Rlx) is known as pregnancy hormone for
decades. In the 1980s, researchers began to recognize the highly intriguing fact that Rlx …

The objectives of this study were to determine how dietary supplementation of N-
carbamylglutamate (NCG) and rumen-protected L-arginine (RP-Arg) in nutrient-restricted …

The G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a superfamily of transmembrane receptors
that have a broad distribution and can collectively recognise a diverse array of ligands …

The hormone relaxin is a 6-kDa peptide with high structural similarity to insulin. It is primarily
produced by the corpus luteum during pregnancy but is also synthesized by other …

Relaxin is a 6 kDa protein hormone produced by the corpus luteum and secreted into the
blood during pregnancy in rodents and humans. Growing evidence indicates that circulating …

The hormone Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a major secretory product of the Leydig cells
from both fetal and adult testes. Consequently, it is a major gender-specific circulating …

Clinically, unique markers in fetal membrane cells may contribute to the search for
biomarkers for preterm prelabor rupture of the fetal membranes (pPROM) in maternal blood …

Relaxin is a pleiotropic hormone with actions in reproductive and non-reproductive tissues,
and has a role in tumor biology. It can promote growth, differentiation and invasiveness of …

Background Relaxin is the endogenous ligand of the G-protein coupled receptor RXFP1,
previously known as LGR7. In humans relaxin can also activate, but with lower affinity, the …
