In this study we sought to define the subcellular localization of phospholipase A 2 in human
fetal membranes. Others have postulated a role for decidual lysosomes in the initiation of …

Previously, we found that preproendothelin-1 mRNA is present in human avascular amnion
tissue. In this investigation, we evaluated the possibility that another vasoactive protein, …

: Severe virilization developed in a pregnant woman in association with the occurrence of
theca lutein cysts and hyperreactio luteinalis of the ovaries. At term, maternal serum levels of …

… Latent TGF3 is produced by endometrial stromal cells and can be activated (unpublished
data, Casey, ML and PC MacDonald). These findings are suggestive that TGFO3 may serve a …

The purpose of these studies was (1) to determine the duration of urine collection needed
for complete excretion of radiolabeled metabolites of estrone following the infusion of ( 3 H)-…

… (PC) of lung explants from a 22-week-old human abortus … nmol choline incorporated into
disaturated PC 24 h"1 mg-1 … The ratio of disaturated PC to PC was derived from analysis of …

The tensile strength of human fetal membranes is attributable to interstitial collagens of the
zona compacta of the avascular amnion. Collagen fiber strength and proteolytic resistance is …

An assay procedure was developed in which phosphatidyl[2- 3 H]inositol was employed as
substrate for the measurement of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C activity. …

We found that immunoreactive endothelin (ET) is present in seminal fluid in very large amounts
(500-5000 ng/L; quantification based on ET-1 standard). This immunoreactive ET was …

Phospholipase C, phospholipase A 2 , and diacylglycerol lipase activities in human amnion,
chorion laeve, and uterine decidua vera tissues obtained in early and late gestation were …
