De novo synthesis of prolactin by human decidua.
TLDR
Data indicate that a species of Prolactin which is identical to pituitary prolactin by the criteria of immunoprecipitation and gel chromatography is synthesized by human decidual tissue in vitro.About:

Prolactin: Structure, Function, and Regulation of Secretion
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive survey of the current understanding of prolactin's function and its regulation and to expose some of the controversies still existing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic decidualization of the human endometrium in reproductive health and failure.
Birgit Gellersen,Jan J. Brosens +1 more
TL;DR: The endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine cues that tightly govern this differentiation process are reviewed and how disorders that subvert the programming, initiation, or progression of decidualization compromise reproductive health and predispose for pregnancy failure is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endocrine regulation of menstruation.
TL;DR: A clearer understanding of regulation of normal endometrial function will provide an insight into causes of menstrual dysfunction such as menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea and the development of novel drugs that would target identified aberrations in expression and/or of local uterine factors that are crucial for normal endometricrial function.

Prolactin production by human endometrium during the normal menstrual cycle.
Ila A. Maslar,Daniel H. Riddick +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that PRL is synthesized by endometrium during the normal menstrual cycle and that the appearance and degree of synthesis and decidualization of the stroma correspond.

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

Dating the endometrial biopsy.
TL;DR: It is asserted that examination of the endometrium during the secretory phase yields more information about the time of ovulation degree of progestational change and normality of theendometrium than any other test used in sterility studies.

A homologous radioimmunoassay for human prolactin.
TL;DR: A sensitive homologous radioimmunoassay for human prolactin (hPRL) is developed and measures concentrations of hPRL as low as 1 ng/ml of human plasma in a group of randomly selected male and female individuals.

TL;DR: The ability to measure this new pituitary polypeptide by radioimmunoassay permits investigation of its role in human gestation and during the menstrual cycle.

Cytological Studies of the Decidual Reaction in the Rat during Early Pregnancy and in the Production of Deciduomata
TL;DR: Kirkham (1916) and Enzmann, Saphir, and Pincus (1932) have confirmed Lataste's postulation by showing that the delay is due to the failure of the embryo to become attached at the proper time -a phenomenon which when explained, I believe, will certainly find many if not all its basic factors in the state or condition in which the uterine mucous membrane is at that time.
