Protective effect of hypotaurine against oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity in rat placental trophoblasts.

abstract：:Maternal diabetes affects the development of the offspring by altering the uterine environment. We aimed to investigate the extent to which the blood flow (measured as Tissue Perfusion Units; TPU) to implantation sites and the expression of developmentally important genes in the offspring are affected by maternal diab...

abstract：:Amnion is the innermost layer of the fetal membrane and has been suggested to regulate the volume of amniotic fluid via the amniotic epithelium. The transepithelial pathway is generally restricted by tight junctions (TJs). Thus far, human amniotic TJs have not been identified. In this study, we determined whether the ...

This is due to the presence of large quantities of the NAD(+)-linked 15-hydroxy-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH type I; EC 1.1.1.141). In order to investigate whether a specific localization of PGDH is at the origin of the increasing plac...

abstract：:Placental hypoxia as a result of impaired trophoblast invasion is suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Hypoxia is a potent stimulus for the release of adenosine, and the actions of adenosine are mediated through four adenosine receptors, A(1), A(2A), A(2B) and A(3). We investigated the pres...
