Journal ArticleDOI

Trophoblast interferon and pregnancy.

TL;DR: Because of their central role in early gestation, these proteins have excited the interest of reproductive physiologists, and their other properties, and the fact that their expression is controlled so precisely, have made them of interest to a wide range of biologists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient exposure to low levels of insecticide affects metabolic networks of honeybee larvae

TL;DR: The multifaceted, physiological response described here may be of importance to the general understanding of pollinator health, as muscles work at high glycolytic rates and flight performance could be impacted should low levels of this evolutionarily novel stressor likewise induce downregulation of energy metabolising genes in adult pollinators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repression of translation of human estrogen receptor α by G-quadruplex formation

TL;DR: It is shown using CD, UV, and NMR spectroscopy that a stable DNA G-quadruplex motif is formed within the exon C gene sequence, which forms a stable RNA quadruplex demonstrable by CD and UV analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uterine lymphocyte distribution and interleukin expression during early pregnancy in cows.

TL;DR: IL-2 mRNA expression is detectable in the non-pregnant but not the pregnant uterus on day 16 and interferon τ is unlikely to play a role in the redistribution of immune cells in the uterus during early bovine pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of lipopolysaccharide and interleukins-1alpha, -2 and -6 on oxytocin receptor expression and prostaglandin production in bovine endometrium.

TL;DR: It is concluded that pro-inflammatory interleukins suppress OTR expression in the late luteal phase, while LPS stimulates PGF(2alpha) without altering OTR mRNA expression and endometrial prostaglandin production alters around luteolysis.
