The oviductal sperm reservoir in domestic mammals
(Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad Austral de Chile, 2005)
Sex Steroid-Mediated Control of Oviductal Function in Cattle
(Mdpi, 2018-03-01)
In cattle, the oviduct is a tubular organ that connects the ovary and the uterus. The oviduct lumen stages a dynamic set of cellular and molecular interactions to fulfill the noble role of generating a new individual. ...
First evidence of the interaction between deleted in malignant brain tumor 1 and galectin-3 in the mammalian oviduct
(Springer, 2014-02)
The oviduct supports the transport and final maturation of gametes, and harbors fertilization and early embryo development. The oviductal epithelium is responsible for providing the correct environment for these processes. ...
RNA fingerprinting using RAP-PCR identifies an EBAF homologue mRNA differentially expressed in rat oviduct
(Centro Regional de Investigaciones Científicas y Tecnológicas, 2004-12)
As a step towards the identification of genes preferentially expressed in the oviduct during early rat embryo development, we isolated a cDNA fragment (Pr14) by using RNA arbitrarily primed PCR (RAP-PCR), being its expression ...
Embryo presence regulates NODAL/LEFTY2 system in the rat oviduct in vivo
(Wiley, 2019-11)
To gain further insight in the mechanisms of the embryo–maternal dialog in the oviduct, expression of members of the transforming growth factor‐β superfamily, NODAL, its inhibitor, LEFTY2, and their coreceptor, CFC1, were ...
Mating induces production of MMP2 in the llama oviduct: Analysis of MMP2 effect on semen
(Elsevier Science, 2018-05)
Ovulation of South American Camelids is induced by mating. After copulation, sperm are stored into the oviduct to be released near ovulation time. To study whether copulation induces matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) ...
S100 A9 is expressed and secreted by the oviduct epithelium, interacts with gametes and affects parameters of human sperm capacitation in vitro
(Wiley, 2019-10)
Our previous findings demonstrate that some oviductal secretion proteins bind to gametes and affect sperm physiology and gamete interaction. One of these proteins possesses an estimated molecular weight of 14 kDa. The ...
Vicuna oviduct mucosa: Ultrastructure and lectin affinity
(Elsevier Science, 2006-12)
The isthmus and uterotubal junction (UTJ) from oviducts of adult female vicunas (Vicugna vicuna) were used to study the epithelial cell ultrastructure. Scanning microphotographs revealed a mosaic pattern made up of ciliated ...
