Analysis of the thyroglobulin internalization process using in vitro reconstituted thyroid follicles: evidence for a coated vesicle-dependent endocytic pathway.

abstract：:We have previously shown that placental protein 12 (PP12) is synthesized and secreted by human term pregnancy decidua in vitro. In the present study, fragments of proliferative and secretory phase endometrium were cultured in media in the presence and absence of progesterone (P) and 17 beta-estradiol (E2) for 96 h. Th...
