In cattle, the oviduct is a tubular organ that connects the ovary and the uterus. The oviduct
lumen stages a dynamic set of cellular and molecular interactions to fulfill the noble role of …

The objective of this work was to study the ovarian function when follicular development is
induced during a hyperandrogenic condition. Female rats were injected with either equine …

Human fallopian tubes (FTs) play important roles in the whole reproductive process. FTs are
the site for the final maturation of gametes, fertilization, transport of preimplantation embryos …

After intercourse/insemination, large numbers of sperm are deposited in the female
reproductive tract (FRT), triggering a massive recruitment of neutrophils (PMNs) into the …

It is often assumed, but not established, that the major neurodegenerative diseases, such as
Parkinson's disease, are not just age-dependent (their incidence changes with time) but …

This study aimed to investigate the possible effects of the vasoactive peptide angiotensin II
(ANG II), secreted by bovine oviduct epithelial cells, on the in vitro phagocytic activity of …

The renin–angiotensin system (RAS), mainly associated with the regulation of blood
pressure, has been recently investigated in female reproductive organs and the developing …

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been shown to be involved in control of the oviductal
microenvironment. To elucidate the potential mechanisms responsible for the detrimental …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a regulator of sperm motility, oocyte/embryo survival, and waves of
contraction/relaxation in mammalian oviducts. As follicles control oviductal functions by two …

The oviducts of 64 Holstein cows in luteal (early I, early II and late) and follicular phases
were evaluated to determine the protein expression and mRNA transcription of different …
