Expression and signalling characteristics of the corticotrophin-releasing hormone receptors during the implantation phase in the human endometrium.

abstract：:Several authors have shown that angiotensin II stimulates hepatic angiotensinogen synthesis in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro. In previous studies we have demonstrated that this effect of angiotensin II depends mainly on a transient inhibition of adenylyl cyclase and is the consequence of a stabilization of angiotensinoge...
