Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of the human relaxin h1 gene in the decidua, trophoblast, and prostate
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time relaxin H1 gene expression in the decidua, placental trophoblast, and prostate, and it is shown that there are marked tissue differences in the relative amounts of expression of the H1 and H2 relaxin mRNA forms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relaxin receptor in the rat myometrium: regulation by estrogen and relaxin.
TL;DR: The response of the uterus to estrogen was biphasic and dependent on the time of exposure to the hormone in vivo, and the number of myometrial receptors found in pregnancy were unrelated to the known changes in plasma estrogen levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Relaxin in the Amnion, Chorion, Decidua Parietalis, Basal Plate, and Placental Trophoblast by Immunocytochemistry and Northern Analysis*
TL;DR: It is concluded that the relaxin gene (H2) is expressed in intrauterine tissues, but that expression and hormone synthesis are not ubiquitous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hormone Synthesis and Release from Human Fetal Adenohypophyses in Vitro
TL;DR: In some fetuses, abnormal release of certain hormones in vitro could be relatd to demonstrable fetal abnormalities and these results indicate that the fetal pi...
Journal ArticleDOI
Relaxin increases the release of plasminogen activator, collagenase, and proteoglycanase from rat granulosa cells in vitro.
TL;DR: The involvement of PA in ovarian connective tissue alterations appears to be greatest in the period of follicular antrum formation rather than just before ovulation, as shown by its action on the release of three intrafollicular enzymes.
