Cholesterol is a key cell membrane component and precursor of steroid hormones. The maternal cholesterol is an important exogenous cholesterol source for the developing embryos and its transportation is mediated by ABCA1 and SR-BI. Here we reported that during the peri-implantation period in pigs, A

The pregnant uterus is a smooth muscle organ whose pattern of contraction is dictated by the propagation of electrical impulses. Such electrical activity may originate from one or more pacemakers, but the location of these sites has not yet been determined. To detect the location of the pacemaker in
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein that regulates cell growth in response to altered nutrient and growth factor availability. Our objective was to assess activated mTOR and its intracellular intermediates p70, and 4EBP1 in placental and invasive trophoblast cells in a hypoxia-induced

… In the present study, gene transcriptions of TLRs 1 to 9 were investigated in both the mesometrial side and the anti-mesometrial side of the uterus during gestation in the mouse reproductive organ during the gestation period. … In the mesometrial side, gene transcriptions of TLR 1, 3, 4 and 9 were decreased in the late gestation period, whereas an increase of gene transcriptions of TLR 4 and 9 was seen in the early gestation period. …
