Expression and protein content of IGF-I and IGF-I receptor in placentas from small, adequate and large for gestational age newborns
(2010)
In humans, a direct relationship between IGF-I cord blood levels and birth weight has been demonstrated. To determine the placental IGF-I, IGF-II and IGF-IR mRNA and protein contents in full-term pregnancies from appropriate ...
Trypanosoma cruzi induces trophoblast differentiation: A potential local antiparasitic mechanism of the human placenta?
(W.B. Saunders Ltd, 2014)
Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.Introduction: The congenital transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) is responsible for one-third of new Chagas disease cases each year. During congenital transmission, ...
Placentation in the degu (Octodon degus): Analogies with extrasubplacental trophoblast and human extravillous trophoblast
(2007)
This study examined the placentation in the degu, the origin of the extrasubplacental trophoblast (EST) (extravillous trophoblast in human), and the activity of Na+/K+ ATPase in the placental barrier during different ...
Immunohistochemical expression of von Willebrand factor in the preeclamptic placenta
(2011)
Preeclampsia is a high-prevalence systemic pregnancy disorder associated with maternal and foetal mortality. Its pathogenesis is unknown, but it is thought that oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction may play a ...
Oxidative damage to pre-eclamptic placenta: Immunohistochemical expression of VEGF, nitrotyrosine residues and von Willebrand factor
(2012)
Objective: To determine the relationship of biomarkers of placental damage by oxidative stress in pre-eclamptic placenta. Methods: A case-control study was performed on a population of 14 pregnant women with PE and 12 women ...
Metformin increases norepinephrine transporter expression in placenta of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Verduci Publisher, 2017)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the norepinephrine (NE) and placental NE transporter (NET) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) non-treated and treated with metformin during pregnancy.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: We studied ...
Trypanosoma cruzi induces trophoblast differentiation: A potential local antiparasitic mechanism of the human placenta?
(W.B. Saunders, 2014)
Introduction: The congenital transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) is responsible for one-third of
new Chagas disease cases each year. During congenital transmission, the parasite breaks down the
placental barrier ...
Epigenetic regulation of folate receptor-alpha (FOLR1) in human placenta of preterm newborns
(Elsevier, 2020)
Introduction: Folates are essential nutrients for fetal development and pregnancy outcomes; they are transported to the fetus during gestation through specific folate transporters located in the placenta. In preterm newborns, ...
Review: Placental syncytiotrophoblast membranes e domains, subdomains and microdomains
(Elsevier, 2011)
Human placental syncytiotrophoblast (STB) is an epithelium responsible for materno-fetal exchange. Ions
play multiple roles in STB, as in other transport epithelia. We have been interested in the character and
functional ...
Differential expression of potassium channels in placentas from normal and pathological pregnancies: Targeting of the K ir 2.1 channel to lipid rafts
(2012)
Potassium channels play important physiological roles in human syncytiotrophoblasts (hSTBs) from placenta, an epithelium responsible for maternal-fetal exchange. Basal and apical plasma membranes differ in their lipid and ...
