For normal and congenital nevi, regardless of pregnancy status, dermally associated nevocytes tended to have greater ER immunoreactivity. Significant decreases in ER immunoreactivity were observed in congenital nevi from pregnant women compared with normal and dysplastic nevi from pregnant women. Our ...

Plasma estrogen levels in skunks with delayed implanting blastocysts (diameters of 1.1 mm or less) were significantly higher (P less than 0.05) than those in females with activating blastocysts (i.e., diameters of 1.2 mm or greater), again suggesting that estrogen levels were reduced during the...
NADPH-cytochrome c (P-450) reductases from human placental aromatase II and from horse placental microsomes were solubilized and purified to show a single band of 83,000 daltons in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Rabbits were immunized with purified human placental aromatase II NADPHcytochrome...
As the population with LAM comprises women of childbearing age, a high demand for pregnancy is observed; in the current study, patients with mild or moderate lung function decline were relatively safe to become pregnant with assessment of HRCT grading, lung function status, and other comorbidities...
Background Estrogen as well as CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells were shown to have a protective role not only in maintaining maternal-fetal tolerance but also against autoimmune diseases. We aimed to investigate whether the pregnancy levels of estrogen are enough to induce transplant tolerance as to...
