The placental cholinergic system: localization to the cytotrophoblast and modulation of nitric oxide.

Cell communication and signaling : CCS

Bhuiyan MB, Murad F, Fant ME.
PMID: 16686954
Cell Commun Signal. 2006 May 10;4:4. doi: 10.1186/1478-811X-4-4.

BACKGROUND: The human placenta, a non-neuronal tissue, contains an active cholinergic system comprised of acetylcholine (ACh), choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and high affinity muscarinic receptors. The cell(s) of origin of placental ACh and its role in trophoblast function...

Consequences of nongenomic actions of estradiol on pathogenic genital tract response.

Journal of molecular signaling

Solar P, Velasquez L.
PMID: 23351368
J Mol Signal. 2013 Jan 26;8(1):1. doi: 10.1186/1750-2187-8-1.

Estradiol is a steroid hormone that regulates the structure and function of the female reproductive system. In addition to its genomic effects, which are mediated by activated nuclear receptors, estradiol elicits a variety of rapid signaling events independently of...

Molecular endocrinology of oocyte growth and maturation in fish.

Fish physiology and biochemistry

Nagahama Y, Yoshikuni M, Yamashita M, Sakai N, Tanaka M.
PMID: 24202455
Fish Physiol Biochem. 1993 Jul;11(1):3-14. doi: 10.1007/BF00004545.

Pituitary gonadotropins (GTHs) are of primary importance in triggering oocyte growth and maturation. However, the actions of GTHs are not direct, but are mediated by the ovarian production of steroidal mediators of oocyte growth (estradiol-17β) and maturation (maturation-inducing hormone,...
