背景情况:
- 胚胎植入对于怀孕至关重要,其失败导致严重的妊娠损失.
- 成功的植入取决于对卵巢激素 (如孕激素) 的协调性子宫内膜反应.
- 在怀孕期间,孕激素受体 (PGR) 在子宫腺体中的特定作用尚未完全理解.
研究的目的:
- 调查孕期孕激素受体 (PGR) 生物作用,特别是在怀孕期间子宫的腺上皮 (GE).
- 确定GE中条件PGR切除对生育能力,子宫受容性和胚胎植入的影响.
主要方法:
- 使用腺上皮 (GE) 特定的Cre复合酶小鼠系 (Prss29-Cre) 进行PGR的条件切除.
- 进行了组织学和转录学分析,以评估GE中的基因表达变化.
- 研究了LIF给药对Pgr条件淘汰小鼠植入的作用.
主要成果:

Ovarian Cycle
874
The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle...

Gonadal and Placental Hormones
1.2K
The gonads, namely the testes in males and the ovaries in females, are pivotal in producing gonadal hormones that orchestrate the intricate processes of sexual development and reproduction.
In males, testosterone is the primary gonadal androgen. It plays a central role in the maturation of male reproductive organs — the penis and testes. Additionally, testosterone is instrumental in the development of secondary sexual characteristics — a deep voice as well as facial and pubic hair...
